Synopsis
John Brown is a biography written by W. E. B. Du Bois about the abolitionist John Brown. It covers his life from his Christian country upbringing to his failed business efforts and finally his "blood feud" with the institution of slavery as a whole. Its moral represents the significance and effect of a white abolitionist at the time, a challenge to white slave owners and others who believed that only blacks were behind the cause of abolition. In this historical classic Du Bois defends Brown against all critics who saw him as a zealot, demon, or traitor, using a remarkable blend of scholarship and emotion. Brown emerges as a complex character, completely understandable as an unique leader with a highly religious viewpoint and a dedication to the cause of slave freedom.
