John Brown was an American abolitionist who supported rebellion as a means to eradicate slavery in the United States. He faced charges of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia for his unlawful actions, was convicted, and executed by hanging.
In the time leading up to his execution and following his conviction, a significant number of notable individuals campaigned financially and crafted speeches in his support. Notable amongst them was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson depicted Brown as a relatable, ordinary person driven by strong beliefs to take action. This portrayal was meant to highlight Brown’s admirable qualities and generate empathy from the public by making a connection with themselves.
