His actions pushed the South to secede, and the fact his raid took place in Virginia may have swayed the state into joining the secessionists despite voting down secession twice. Virginia joining the CSA did more to prolong the war than anything else could have. As Tennessee and North Carolina would join them. Plus they had one of the best state militias. And some of the Union's best former officers such as Robert E Lee and Thomas Jackson were from Virginia.

It is important to remember that the "He" in the song who died to make men holy is Christ. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea / With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me / As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free! / While God is marching on Note that many modern hymnals change the line about dying to "let us live to make men free."

"Now if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done..."

Thanks for shedding light on this historical topic, the topic of John Brown’s raid was over within 1 minute in Georgia High school Curriculum (very brief).

Battle Hymn of the Republic has a special place in my heart. Our national anthem is a rousing speech of bravery, but this just tugs at the strings. It's a song for the United States that was meant to be, that shining city on a hill. It's...America.

There are a lot of different verses for Battle Hymn of the Republic, but I think my favorite is "I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal" Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel Since God is marching on" The ending of slavery by war and blood was a holy crusade, and I cannot be persuaded otherwise

Interesting how both sides used religious conviction like that

Every time I hear these stories about such heroes of America’s past I can’t help but remember a line I once read a book called “Culture Warlords” “We tend to like our noble lawbreakers to be comfortably in the past, where time and death have sanitized them into heroes, and to suffer those who struggle against injustice in the present only grudgingly, if at all.” The reason why I think about it so much, is that it’s easy in retrospect to look upon the past, with the benefit of how it bore out and know who was in the right of history. But what heroes against injustice of the modern day are we allowing to go unsung, because in our judgment, we hold some kind of qualms against their tactics in a fight for which we may not necessarily have as much at stake. I think more than anything that’s probably one of the most important lessons to learn from John Brown’s story.

@@matthewdopler8997 The best thing about all that Grant the butcher crap is that he spent most of the war fighting with the 2nd or 3rd string army in peripheral theaters where the armies were usually pretty even in terms of numbers. If Grant had a numbers advantage it was because he created local superiority through skillful generalship. Sure, in the Overland Campaign, Grant had overwhelming numbers, but really only after he backed Lee into a coerner that he knew Lee wouldn't retreat from and then attrited Lee down for 8 months. Losses in the Overland Campaign were high, but it's really the only time where Grant had higher than normal losses. He typically had pretty low losses, but most importantly, his campaigns always moved the Union closer to ending the war, so in terms of men lost, if there was a ratio that could equate losses to war winning actions, Grant's ratio would be the most favorable. People also give Grant a hard time and claim he was just an idiot basically who just mindlessly attacked. He was constantly looking for, and trying new methods to make attacks more successful and lose costly. It didn't always work, but Grant was never afraid to innovate personally, or to try innovations from his subordinate officers.

@@Valhain There is a Sherman story from the Vicksburg campaign that always makes me laugh. Grant had already gone down south of Vicksburg on the west bank of the river, and Sherman was north of the city coordinating transports that were running supplies down the river under the guns of the city fortifications. On one supply run, Sherman observed a river boat take several hits and go down. He wrote in a letter to Grant about it and said he hoped that they would be blessed with good enough luck for the newspaper reporters to have all been aboard the sunken steamboat. Sherman was savage.

The ending honestly gave me goosebumps, this was one of the best episodes of Extra History ever.

I think its important to see why his message was so downplayed historically after the fact, not just due to racism, but the rich and powerful knowing that such a strong and inspiring example of radical progress and civil rights would mean their power (and even their lives) may be forfeit But we should be inspired and proud of him

Somewhat ironically I heard more of 'Blood Upon the Risers' rather than 'Battle Hymn of the Republic' growing up (they follow the same tune and format). But then my dad was a paratrooper for a time, so it sort of makes sense.

I know I am not a patron, if I had the money to spare i would, but the story of missouri at the beginning and just before the Civil War and even during it is fascinating.

I agree with Matt that I really loved this series, because I wasn't taught this in school and its definitely something that should be talked about more, because it is great context to how the Civil War started.

No song turns on the tears for me like Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Funny coincidence, we just learned this in school a few weeks prior, I am in the 8th grade

… Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword His truth is marching on … Glory, Glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on … I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps His day is marching on. … Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! His day is marching on … I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel "As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal" Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel Since God is marching on … Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Since God is marching on … He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on … Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Our God is marching on … In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free While God is marching on … Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah! While God is marching on

It gets better. John Wilkes Booth was at Browns execution too.

My friends keep telling me that they can't talk to me without learning something, and that's mostly because I quote extra history a lot. Thank you to this channel for being my favourite source of historical education since I was like, three.

Chills at the end. Great job everyone

His son's skeleton was rescued during the civil war, and eventually given a proper burial next to his father. It took 20+ years after the body was rescued due to logistics but his mother and at least one of his brothers were still alive and present to bury him.

I didn’t. All we got was that he was an example of radical abolitionism and that he was hanged for taking weapons from harpers ferry.

Kudos for telling Brown's story on this platform; it is especially relevant given current efforts to criminalize the teaching of subjects that have previously been overlooked or avoided. Mark Twain's observations about travel could just as easily be applied to previously untold history...it is "fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
