HARRIET TUBMAN AND JOHN BROWN
There was a man named John Brown. He was a white man, yet he led an attack on the armory of a town in West Virginia called Harpers Ferry in hopes of diminishing slavery by sending the country into civil war. He sought out Harriet Tubman, after hearing of her accomplishments, and eventually started calling her General Tubman. Harriet Tubman embraced Brown as one of the few whites she had ever met who shared her belief that antislavery work was a life-and-death struggle. -
