Today in 1859
John Brown and his followers, both Black and white, launched their epic and ill-fated raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, to attack the horrific system of chattel slavery. While unsuccessful, Brown’s raid did more than almost anything else in the 1850s to highlight the differences between northern and southern labor systems and the moral bankruptcy of the latter.
~ Erik Loomis, labor historian
