Generally speaking, 99 percent of the world’s population is against slavery; in the 1850’s, John Brown took anti-slavery to an extreme level. John Brown was a “misguided fanatic”, in other words a mistaken person with extreme unrealistic zeal for his opinions because he took his abolitionist belief to whole new level and killed people while he thought he was doing God’s “work”. He was not bothered by the taking of act of killing for his beliefs. His lack of regret or sadness for his acts is shown by his one sentence from the 1859 This was John Brown's last speech “But I feel no consciousness of guilt.” Not only do his own words show him to be lacking a feeling of guilt for deaths of other humans, but so does the observations of his own companions.
