A Disease in the Public Mind
Thomas Fleming Read by William Hughes Blackstone Audio, Inc. Non-Fiction By the time his
body hung from the gallows for his crimes at Harper’s Ferry, abolitionists had made John Brown a ‘holy martyr’ in the fight against Southern slave owners. But Northern hatred for Southerners had been long in the making. Northern rage was born of the conviction that New England, whose spokesmen and militia had begun the American Revolution, should have been the leader of the new nation. Instead, they had been displaced by Southern ‘slavocrats’ like Thomas Jefferson.
