Address Delivered at Akron, Ohio, on the Evening of the Execution of John Brown, December 2, 1859

By Lucius Verus Bierce

This stirring speech by Ohio politician Lucius Verus Bierce expresses solidarity with the abolitionist John Brown, who was hanged for his attempt to incite a slave revolt. Bierce argues that Brown's actions were justified by the moral imperative to eradicate slavery and calls on his fellow citizens to join the cause of freedom.
