“John Brown was the first martyr of this rebellion—Abraham Lincoln the last. The names of Abraham Lincoln and John Brown will go down in history together, as the first and last martyr of this rebellion. The war could not be averted. God Almighty is fighting this war for the right. John Brown played his part, and Abraham Lincoln his.”
Abramham Lincoln's Administration and his war was nothing more than a John Brown Raid in continuation. Abraham Lincoln finished what John Brown set out to do.
