You what is sad… they only fought slavery because they needed more consumers for the forming industry, it was corporate interests of the north. It wasn’t a selfless movement.
Now I have no knowledge of American history but are you really claiming they had an excess of farming capacity and decided the best answer was to grow their customer base by slashing their free labour??

Who is “they?”
Last I checked, John Brown wasn’t hung because of his love for Northern factory owners. But maybe the story has changed a bit since 1859?
Hanged.
Hung… Might mean something else.
I’ll allow it. You don’t know he wasn’t.
Who the hell are you? The hung jury?

I think he meant the industry that was forming in the north, not farming industry.
Corporate interests were fighting slavery… because they needed more customers? WAT?
A motivation as old as time. Money. Period. It’s always money. That said, blaming the north for slavery… eh…
