John Brown's Boston: Part 5

Description

This last video examines how the nation’s knowledge of Boston’s role in supporting John Brown (both before and after the raid), led to a deeper division in the country over slavery that started a series of events that led directly to the American Civil War. It concludes with a brief examination of how the famous song “Battle Hymn of The Republic” reflected the beliefs that many Bostonians had about John Brown at the time.
