In this first episode of a three-part series, we’ll introduce the early

part of John Brown’s life

and his crusade against slavery. Among today’s topics, we’ll have the

ethics of punching a

Nazi, how the beating of an enslaved child set Brown on his path, how both

pro and anti-

slavery forces used Christianity to justify their stances, racism

masquerading as

philanthropy, the Nat Turner rebellion, grief & PTSD, the Underground

Railroad, the

murder of Elijah Lovejoy, and much more.
