John Brown was both a hero and a tourist. He killed many people but it was to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that John Brown was more of a hero than a villain. He wanted to end slavery, which was an immoral thing to do to any human. He helped to prevent the act of slavery, which in my opinion is a heroic thing to do.

I think John Brown was both a hero and a tourist. Yes he was killing many people but it was for the right reasons. I do not agree with him killing them but he did it to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think John Brown was a hero because he did end slavery. He did NOT believe in slavery and helped more than 2,500 slaves when he had a farm.

I think that John Brown was both a terrorist and a hero because he did end slavery but at the same time he hurt and killed many people because of this.

I think he was a terrorist because he had good views and good morals but he didn't go about them in the way he should have.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that John Brown was both hero and a terrorist. When he was killing he was killing for a good cause but that's not an excuse. But growing up with his family they taught him not to beleive in slavery which he grew up trying to prevent it and helped over 2,500 slaves in his farm.

A hero because he was a tourist and ended slavery.

I feel that John Brown was more of a villain than a hero. Sure his intentions were noble enough I have my suspicions if highly doubt that he actually cared about slavery it's more likely he just wanted power. Ignoring his questionable reasons to fight the main problem I have with him is the fact that he killed people. Yes they were proslavery but that doesn't mean they deserve to die. Surely there had to have been a better way although ironically his extreme methods are what ended slavery(HIs methods were killing and raiding people that's pretty close to war).

I believe John Brown was a hero and a tourist because he fought to end slavery. But also it killed many people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think John Brown was both a hero and a terrorist, but more a hero. He had good intentions when he was fighting, but went about it the wrong way. He probably could have handled it better, but in the end, it was more a good thing though because he helped end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think John Brown was Not a hero, but not a Terrorist, he had heroic ideals but sought after and accomplished them in terroristic ways. He is Not the good nor bad guy. He is just someone like the others who had good intentions but Bad ways of making it happen

# data[].attributes.body
I think John Brown was a hero and a terrorist. He stood up for what he believed in and fought to end slavery. However, he took it way too far and ended up killing many people along the way.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was a hero because he was someone that helped to stop slavery. He pushed so that it ended.

I believe John Brown to be a terrorist because even though his cause was to end slavery, killing people only for their outlook on the topic is not the answer.  All they had to do in Kansas was try to convince more people who were against slavery to move to Kansas.  Killing people on the opposite side isn't the answer.  You wouldn't kill someone because they don't like the same movie genres as you. Yes, I do realize that slavery is a much more important than movie genres, but you still have to take into account the moral sides of this argument.  He killed people that had different opinions than he did.  Look at 9/11, Al Qaeda wanted our troops out of Saudi Arabia so they killed innocent American civilians.  He killed 16 people because they didn't agree with his place on the topic.  Yes slave owners  treated slaves poorly and that was not right.  But just because people were pro slavery doesn't mean they own slaves, people can agree with something but they don't have to be involved with the issue.

I personally think that John Brown was a hero. Even though death was wrought with his actions, he killed for something that really needed to be ended in the united states.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was a hero because even though he killed people he killed the people to help end slavery and hes kind of half and half

# data[].attributes.body
I personally see John Brown as a hero because of his efforts and what he did to try and stop slavery.  I think this did not go well because of the approach as well as because of the views of the other side.  I could see why some people might see him as a terrorist because of the ways that he tried to get rid of slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think john brown was a hero. he wanted to end slavery. he wanted to make kansas a free state so there wouldn't be more slaves

# data[].attributes.body
i feel like he is slightly both he did what he thought was rght.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe John Brown was more of a hero than a terrorist. He wanted to end slavery, and he did everything he could which in my head makes him a hero. He made horrible mistakes during his life, but he made up for them. John Brown is most definitely not a terrorist.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he was a hero. he wanted to stop slavery so people could be free yes he killed people but so does the US in wars death is apart of freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was a hero. He tried to stop slavery and did what he could in his power. Even though he did some bad stuff in the end he is a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he's both because he killed pro slavery members which made it worst, but he tried to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel he's slightly both because for as much right he did, he also did a lot of wrong. The ratio isn't exactly balanced but he was known for good things but everyone has their moments.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like he was both, Although he killed many people he also helped a lot of people to. So he was somewhat evil but he helped people to. He was doing a good thing but in a wrong way.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the John Brown was a hero. He helped slaves hide during the underground railroad. He also stood up for what he believed in because he wanted to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe that he was a hero because he knew that war was inevitable, and decided to strike after the confederates striked at them. he did go a little too crazy with his idea in Virginia, but I still view him as a hero for trying to end slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was both. Because he wasn't as bad as other "terrorists" but he wasn't as good as an american hero. So i say he is both.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was, maybe, both. I can definitely see both sides of the argument. First off, he didn't really do anything other than kill people. He made no difference, during his war time, to actually put a dent in slavery, it just made slave owners more wanting to fight back causing even worse deaths  at the time. But on the other hand his head was in the right space of wanting to stop slavery. I just think he should of, and could of, went a bout this is a bit of a better way. So he was not really the worst person in the world. But I wouldn't necessarily say he is is a hero to the anti-slavery causes.
So I guess on a scale of terrorist to hero he is like somewhere in-between 4 and 6.

i believe that john brown was a hero because he helped end slavery

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that he was a terrorist because he went around and killed people. Yes I do see where he is coming from, but it didn't mean he had to kill all of those innocent people. He killed them because he thought God told him it was the right thing. If I was alive back then I would have told him he was crazy.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was a hero because he helped end slavery for U.S. He also tried to helped other slaves to be free by killing slave owners. Lastly, he stood up and did something because he wanted to end slavery. This is why I think he is a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
As of most other people here, I believe that John Brown was a hero. He was always pacifist until the pro-slaves attacked. It was practically self-defense for his own men. He had every right to fight them back scince they did the same first. It should be simply known that this is the reasoning.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally i think John Brown should be a hero. I don't think he should've killed but that was what he thought was the only way. The reason he should be a hero was because he helped many African Americans run and get away from slavery, and even killing big slave owners that means less slaves are being purchased.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think that John Brown was a hero. Even though death was wrought with his actions, he killed for something that really needed to be ended in the united states. I not only think thats noble, I think thats very respectable and something that (to a lesser extent, not killing.) should be used as a place of basis in the modern world.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that John Brown was a hero. I think he was a hero because he stood up for himself and freed a lot of slaves even though he killed people. Also when he was killing those people he had good intensions and did the right thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that he was a hero because, He tried to end slavery. He wanted to help the good people even if he had to kill the bad people. At the end he got his state to be a free one.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say he was a hero. I would call him a hero, because all he was trying to do was stand up for what he believed in. Yes, he was very violent in the beginning. But that doesn't matter, he was trying to stop slavery.

# data[].attributes.body
i believe he was a hero. with how they were treated they deserved to die. i'm not sure how to feel about him killing the children and babies but it's too late now so oh well.

# data[].attributes.body
I think slavery, because her was trying to stand up for slavery. He wants everyone to have a good life, and bring freedom to slavs. People can have different opinions but he did nothing, but try to help.

# data[].attributes.body
I think John brown is a hero. He wasn't violent at first, but because of the circumstances of the ongoing tensions between northerners and southerners, violence erupted on both sides. He helped freed many slaves and started a rebellion even if that did mean killing people to get his word spread.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say he was a hero for standing up for what he believed in and what was right. I think what he did was not even close to what the slave owners did he was just trying to stop slavery. He was trying to bring freedom to the slaves.

# data[].attributes.body
I think John Brown is a hero because he killed to end slavery which is a good cause. Sometimes violence is the only answer and he took it into his own hands. Overall John Brown helped end slavery which makes him a hero.

# data[].attributes.body
I say hero because he stood up for what he and many others believed in. Although he did kill 16 people, but if you think about how bad some of the slave owners treated their slaves, it is not right either way but you have to look at it from both spots and also the treatment they were all put through. Like from our lesson the other day, many innocent slaves were killed because whites were scared they would turn on them. So wasn't that murder for no reason, also? Just on thoughts is not a real reason for someone to be killed without proof. And from the story that we read slaves would get beat to death or til a lot of blood showed. With what John Brown was doing it was for the better on how bad having and the treatment of slaves was in the slavery states. Also from what else we have learned sometimes violence and rebelion is the only way to get things through to a mass group of people. This is all just my opinion on all of what we have been learning, but to me he was an American Hero for not only slaves but for everyone who wanted slavery to end.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe John Brown was a hero because slavery wasn't a good thing in the 1800s. Considering Brown killed people for a good cause I believe it's not a bad thing. In the end John helped lots of slaves escape and become free so all of his terrors paid off.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say hero if you wanted slavery to be abolished, but a terrorist if you wanted slavery because it was one side of the other. But his acts were very bad and should not be treated as brave it was murder.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he's a hero because he was trying to stop slavery and that is like a hero type of thing to do so I would say hero.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he was a hero because he was trying to stop slavery. This did not go well though because the south thought he was trying to get rid of it completely. The south's economy depended on slave labor so they thought if slaves were outlawed, their economy would crash.
