Yes, I understand what you are saying, but when you say "The North attacked the South first" and then follow it by "Look up John Brown and Harpers Ferry"' the implication is obvious. You're implying that John Brown attacked the South at Harper's Ferry. That's not what happened, Harpers Ferry was a U.S. installation at the time.

Not everyone believes that "John Brown played a major role in starting the Civil War" as alot of things happened after his Harper's Ferry raid that could have prevented the war had they turned out differently. It is obvious, however, that John Brown's beliefs played a major role in the Civil War.

Comments on this post
tomder55 agrees: and a whole lot happened before John Brown's raid. I see the key point when reconciliation could not happen without war was the rediculous SCOTUS Dred Scott Decision overturning the compromises that prohibited slavery in the territories .
