If John Brown’s raid was freedom, I guess chaos is the American way now. Law and order still deserve respect.

Finally, a resolution that honors the fierce fight for justice, not just the sanitized history we’re used to. John Brown didn’t start a war; he ignited the flame of real freedom.

This feels like a rewrite, trying to glamorize a man who broke the law and sparked a civil war. History deserves honesty, not hero worship.

If standing up to oppression makes you a hero, then let’s put John Brown on the pedestal—he was the original freedom fighter we desperately needed.

Honoring John Brown? Next we’ll celebrate arsonists as patriots. Violence isn’t the answer to liberty.
