  1. 1859: "When we reflect on what Brown...has striven to effect, and when we remember that he is about to die, slaughtered by the American Republic, the crime assumes an importance co-extensive with that of the nation which commits it...we declare our conviction that John Brown will not die; for we recoil horror-struck from the idea of so great a crime committed by so great a people." #VictorHugo #JohnBrown en.wikisource.org/wiki/Victor_

  12. [content note: mention of lynching, sexualized harm, and murder of a child]

    Another fact:

    Yes, that Julia Ward Howe. Writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Which was an appropriation of John Brown's Body, a communally-created song in honor of an abolitionist who opposed slavery by shooting people.

    "Women are stripped to the skin in the presence of leering, white-skinned, black-hearted brutes and lashed into insensibility and strangled to death from the limbs of trees. A girl child of fifteen years was lynched recently by these brutal bullies. Where has justice fled? The eloquence of Wendell Phillips is silent now. John Brown’s body lies moldering in the grave. But will his spirit lie there moldering, too? Brutes, inhuman monsters—you heartless brutes—you whom nature forms by molding you in it, deceive not yourselves by thinking that another John Brown will not arise." – Lucy Parsons, 1892
