John Brown Should Have A Holiday
John Brown once said “Caution sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice. A social justice warrior should be someone who is brave, determined, and a hero in the eyes of the people. John Brown attacked an armory, he was a man of action, he attacked pro-slavery residents, and he became a hero in the eyes of northern extremists. I believe John Brown should have a holiday because he is brave, determined, and an anti-slavery advocate.
First, John Brown should have a holiday because he was brave. John Brown and 21 followers attacked and occupied the armory in Harpers Ferry. A man said this about John Brown, “ No man in America has ever stood up so persistently and effectively for the dignity of human nature.” In conclusion, John Brown should have a holiday because he is brave.
Second, John Brown should have a holiday because he was determined. John Brown was a man of action, a man who would not stop trying to complete his mission of abolishing slavery. John Brown became a hero in the eyes of northern extremists and people started to notice him more, he became important. Because of John Brown being so determined, he should have a holiday.
Third, John Brown should have a holiday because he was an anti-slavery advocate. John Brown and his sons led attacks on pro-slavery residents. John Brown was religious, he was Christian and he did not like slavery. As a result of John Brown being an anti-slavery advocate, Brown should have a holiday.
Because of John Brown was brave, determined ,an anti-slavery advocate, and a hero in the eyes of people, I believe he should have a holiday. He is just as important as any other person that has a holiday.
