Brown Corpus
During the month of November hardly a day passed when there was not some mention of John Brown in the Rhode Island newspapers.
On November 7, 1859, the Providence Daily Journal reprinted a letter sent to John Brown from `` E. B. '', a Quaker lady in Newport.
In reference to Brown's raid she wrote, `` though we are non-resistants and religiously believe it better to reform by moral and not by carnal weapons, we know thee was anemated by the most generous and philanthropic motives ''.
`` E. B. '' compared John Brown to Moses in that they were both acting to deliver millions from oppression.
In contrast to `` E. B. '', most Rhode Islanders hardly thought of John Brown as being another Moses.
Most attempts to develop any sympathy for Brown and his actions found an unresponsive audience in Rhode Island.
