Summary Blog for 11/29/12

On Thursday in class we learned about John Brown and Harpers Ferry.  We took notes starting at October 16th 1859 when John Brown led about twenty other people that were supporting him in an effort to free the slaves. He expected the slaves to rebel when given the chance and since this never happened his plan did not work and John Brown was caught and hung for murder and treason against Virginia. Then in the second half of class we looked at different testimonies and got to see how they viewed the event. We then discussed our own opinions. Friday we missed class.
