Why would abolitionists need to be pardoned for fighting in the Civil War?
You missed my other comment with a link.
They tried John Brown, an Abolitionist, for treason, found him guilty, and hung him.
John Brown, who literally attacked a United States Armory?
Yeah man, that’s treason. John Brown did the moral thing that just happened to put him at risk of being charged for treason. Guarantee you he knew this before he did it.
Founding Fathers all committed treason as well. Treason isn’t inherently wrong, it’s just illegal.
So?
I didn’t bring the topic up.
No, you didn’t, but you replied when no one asked you to.
And in your comment it seemed like you were suggesting that it was right or at least tolerable for the US to pardon the treason of the Confederates who seceded and attacked the US in a desire to maintain slavery, but it was right to try and execute John Brown for treason because he attacked US property in a desire to end slavery. Was that your point?
I think it’s be more tolerable to prosecute everyone than that Brown should have gone free.
They being the State of Virginia, not the United States.
