John Brown’s final speech, 1859 [...] The trial’s high point came at its end when Brown was permitted to make a speech, which appears on this broadside printed in December 1859 by the abolitionist newspaper, the Liberator. In his address, Brown asserted that he “never did intend murder, or treason, or the destruction of property, or to excite or incite Slaves to rebellion, or to make insurrection,” but rather wanted only to “free Slaves.” (The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History)
