What Is The Madness Of John Brown
Aralee Fajardo
January 7, 2011
Entry #8: "The Madness of John Brown" Historians are not the only ones that can elucidate history. History is a extensive puzzle that can be solved by anyone who has an educated diploma on certain subjects. Historians are the main disposition to solve the uncertainty of history with their useful, quality skills of making theories to conjoin loose ends of history, motivation of repeated research, and their undying love to learn new history, but a psychologist can solve history too with their forte. Even though it may seem absurd to believe that this occupation who assesses a man's personality to solve problems; a psychologist can solve an dead man's prospective in life. A letter is a common communication device

Mary Whiton Calkins was one of these women who worked almost selflessly to achieve a high educational standard that seemed to be unreachable. In a world dominated by the male gender, Calkins found herself fighting for recognition, never to obtain it from Harvard University.

    Late- nineteenth-century historians, usually called “historicists” or “positivists” believed that history was like science and with practice it could be solved. According to Couvares, Croce believed that Positivists were faulty in their assumptions because history was perceived differently every time it was written down since no one thinks exactly alike.

    This legitimate desire of the historian to interest, to instruct, and to please, is at once a leading motive for his labors, a challenge to present his work in artistic form, and a danger to his professional integrity. It tempts him to deviate from the truth in order to satisfy school committees on whom he depends for "adoptions"; or the prejudices of reviewers and the emotions of the public to whom he looks for circulation. Historians of repute have sold…

    John Brown is famous for his attack on Harpers Ferry. Abraham Lincoln had called him a “misguided fanatic”. John Brown was a “misguided fanatic” only because he thought what he was doing what was right. Frederick Douglass writes in his last meeting with Brown, “It would be an attack upon the Federal government, and would turn the whole country against us.” Douglass knew that Brown would not make it out alive, yet he let him go. October 16, 1859, Brown and 21 other men attack Harpers Ferry. Within 36 hours all men are either captured or killed. On the day of his trial, he says, “I believe that to have done what I have done--on behalf of God’s despised poor was not wrong, but right.” He believed that in order to stop slavery he was to arm slaves…
