I see no one will answer my question about where did they hang John Browns co-conspirators in their attack upon Virginia? As I said, they should have been hung just like they hung John Wilkes Booth's co-conspirators.
A certain group supporting and helping John Brown were called the 'Secret Six'. But alas, at Harpers Ferry Brown had all their names written down which was found among his stuff. Thus their secret was out.
They were: 1.) George Luthor Sterns, 2.) Gerrit Smith, 3.) Thomas Wentworth Higginson, 4.) Samuel Gridley Howe, 5.) Theodore Parker, 6.) Franklin B. Sanborn
1.) George Luthor Sterns--" He was chairman of the Massachusetts Committee which provided arms and other supplies to the anti-slavery elements. He was a financial backer of John Brown's activities and fled to Canada after the Harpers Ferry raid. Returning shortly, he testified before a Congressional committee that it was among the greates events of this age. Following the election of Lincoln, which he had supported, in December 1861 he became the treasurer of the Emancipation League..."
How about that? Sterns felt the noose around his neck, rightfully so, and got the hell out of there to Canada. Then his people came to power, he returned singing a different song. Harpers Ferry was a great event of this age, he said. And he was rewarded a noteable position.
Co-conspirator with Brown in treason. Instead of being hung, he was rewarded. The traitors were no in power. Sterns was safe.
