@NotRollingTim@CU5T4RD_@PurrsonVT@kingepic22 Who’s lying? His widow, doctor, employer, several eyewitnesses, the national press, and the Virginia House of Representatives? You sound like a schizo there’s really no convincing you of anything.
@NotRollingTim@CU5T4RD_@PurrsonVT@kingepic22 The Daughters of the confederacy claim that he was pro-slavery on his memorial. This is unfounded; that’s the only fact that’s debated. John Brown and his men undoubtedly killed a free black man in their raid.
@NotRollingTim@CU5T4RD_@PurrsonVT@kingepic22 You’re confused. Haywood Shepherd, a free black man, was killed by John Brown or his men at Harpers Ferry. This was national news in 1859; we know his doctor, his gravesite, and his widow (she was given a pension by the Virginia legislature.) (cont-)
