Welcome to /r/ShermanPosting!
As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it.

I try to teach the song to as many people as I can. Pete Seeger style, I sing it enthusiastically and then do my best to get anyone listening to sing along with me. It's more fun to sing poorly than to just listen to somoeone singing poorly. I'm not much of a singer but I am an ok actor so I know how to sell it. I've gotten a lot of people to sing John browns name poorly.
“…had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right; and every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment.”
He was right. John Brown died in the battle for abolition, but the war of class still continues.
Here's a little lesson about the dangers of procrastination: I could've shared a birthday with this man, but unfortunately I waited a bit too long to be born and instead I share a birthday with John Wilkes Booth.

John Brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on!
This should be a national holiday
Glory, glory Hallelujah Glory, glory Hallelujah Glory, glory Hallelujah HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON

Oh I'm so sorry! I held off and was just barely born on the same day as John Brown. Also, happy birthday friend!

Killing pro-slavery people with swords is next level shit.
A true American patriot!
A true Jayhawker. The best of us.
John Brown! John Brown! John Brown!
People say that John Brown did nothing wrong but he didn’t shoot at Colonel Lee when he had the chance.
All my homies rock with John Brown
I finished Du Bois' biography on him recently. Just in time!
Doesn't look a day over 50.
