Fun fact, John Brown had chronic back pain from carrying around the weight of his massive balls.
Actual fact: Americans don't learn about John Brown because John Brown's existence highlights a lot of ugly truths about American history, the American people at the time, and how corrupted the core of the American experiment really is.

Harpers Ferry, WV is one of the most important National Parks in the entire country because of the history it contains. Highly recommend every American make the trek at some point in their lives.

Behind the Bastards did an episode on John Brown for the Christmas anti-Bastard episode a few years ago, definitely worth a listen.

Self evident truths go "braaaaaaaat"!

You can watch the show or read the book The Good Lord Bird for a fictionalization of his life, on my list of to-watch and to-read for sure. Anyone have any critical reviews on those as to accuracy?

I live in a fairly blue state which tends to lean into highlighting the atrocities of the south during the Civil War (and all other eras to be frank) and I never learned about John brown until after high school

Actual fact: many Americans do learn about John brown in school, some of us even learned about Nat Turner. It's downright common to learn about the Bloody Kansas affair as it was a major inciting incident of our civil war.
I wouldn't be surprised though if I only learned so much about this because I grew up in a northern state that was one of the primary hotbeds of militant abolitionism (Ohio). We were home to Brown, Grant, and Sherman. We also learned that the fugitive slave act was an act of outright southern aggression on our right to free our fellow humans from their barbarous cruelty. Unfortunately ths state's filled with dipshits flying the slavers' rag these days talking about a heritage that certainly wasn't ours.

That's weird, I grew up in ohio and we learned a lot about him, good bad and complicated. The civil war and fight against slavery was a huge part of state history for Ohio though.

I went to public school in Florida, and can tell you that neither of those names were ever brought to discussion. I only learned about John Brown from YouTube in my later twenties.

Also Virginian, yeah I remember learning about it, although I don't recall it being all that much. My parents are from WV and I know they learned about The Battle of Blair Mountain too, and I'm pretty sure I've heard they don't teach it anymore.
One thing that's crazy to me is how WV has largely become anti-union despite this history. They want more coal mining and fewer union, even though the only reason they view coal mining as even halfway decent for making a living is because unions saved them from the coal company exploitation.
