Damn what a 
nostalgia moment
Isn't this literally part of the PragerU Florida curriculum? That slaves learned 'trades' and how it was beneficial to them? Absolute evil shit
PragerU: "Capitalism is all about freedom and individual agency, but also slavery was good and benefited black people"
Straight up mainstream neo-nazism
It's history backwards: slaves were trafficked not just as "unskilled" labor, but because they knew how to do stuff.
Governor Ron Desantis is that you?
Don't worry, these ideas come free 
Look, as a centrist I believe historical figures should be judged by the standards of their time
And since slaves, historically mind you, put their masters to death whenever they got the chance
The single most based American to ever live
The only thing John Brown did wrong was failing to kill all slave owners.
all slave owners should be fed into a woodchipper. the same woodchipper, at the same time. it'll probably break it. that's ok.
Not a woodchipper, a spinning jenny
Ok, federation was a good idea

his soul is marching on
Old John Brown's body lies a moldering in the grave,
While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
But though he sleeps his life was lost while struggling for the slave,
His soul is marching on.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He's loosed the faithful lightning of His terrible, swift sword
His truth is marching on! 
But but actually you should just 
the slavery away.
slave owners should be killed!
More and more people are saying this

If anyone is interested, both the book and the series Good Lord Bird is well worth a peep.
Absolute chad.
It's just totally crazy to me that someone like him is still seen as a "controversial" figure.
John Brown did nothing wrong
I couldn't disagree more. John Brown deserves to be hung for being a hopeless fool! He attempted to capture Virginia with seventeen men when he ought to know that it would require at least twenty-five.
idk Castro took Cuba with 15. quality over quantity.
