Though some characterized John Brown as a lover of all mankind and a believer in the Golden Rule, he was also thought of as a bloodthirsty and cold-blooded man. Believing that the crime of slavery should not exist one day longer, Brown took five proslavery men from their beds and hacked them to death with broadswords in front of their families.
