Why would they do that?!
Why would they...? They shot my son! Why would they do that?! They shot my son. [Douglass]
The question is, did John Brown fail? He certainly did fail
to get out of Harpers Ferry before being beaten down
by United States soldiers, and to lead a liberating army into the mountains of Virginia. So, did John Brown
draw his sword against slavery and thereby lose his life
in vain? And to this I answer
10,000 times no. No man fails
or can ever fail who so grandly gives himself
and all he has to a righteous cause
