Continued from post #(614) The Secret Six
6.) Franklin Sanborn--"After failing to persuade John Brown to drop his designs upon Harpers Ferry, Franklin B. Sanborn determined to lend him all the support he could....He became the secretary of the Massachusetts Free Soil Association and made Brown's acquaintance in 1857. When the raid failed, he was ordered arrested by the Senate for refusing to go to Washington to give his testimony. After twice fleeing to Canada he was arrested in early 1860 but was freed by the actions of the state courts and a mob. During the latter years of the CivilWar he was editor of the 'Boston Commonwealth' and served on the stateboard of charities." (Who Was Who In The Civil War, Stewart Sifakis, Facts On File Publications,1988, p. 567)
Another co-conspirator with John Brown the traitor. Finally he was arrested but yankee courts and a mob freed him. More proof of the attitude of the yankee states in that day. To hell with what the courts say, and the courts were traitor also. And another co-conspirator with John Brown is rewarded for his co-conspiracy given noteable positions. John Brown the traitor was the North's man. Because the North was equal traitor also.
That is the Secret Six co-conspiratiors with John Brown Glory, glory, hallelujah...
