Explanation: John Brown was an American abolitionist who lived shortly before the US Civil War. The man was fucking tired of no-progress backsliding bullshit, so he decided to take matters into his own hands, engaging in several anti-slavery partisan actions which involved the killing of slavers. Unlike many, he used his religious faith for good - he was certain that God had mandated that all people were equally His children, and channeled that faith into unyielding righteous fury on behalf of Black and Native American folk.
He was executed shortly after attempting to begin a mass slave revolt to end slavery once and for all, and became a martyr in the anti-slavery North.
