But few Americans know the true story of the men and women who launched a desperate strike at the slaveholding South. Now, Midnight Rising portrays Brown's uprising in vivid color, revealing a country on the brink of explosive conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown, the descendant of New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin against America's founding principles. Unlike most abolitionists, he was willing to take up arms, and in 1859 he prepared for battle at a hideout in Maryland, joined by his teenage daughter, three of his sons, and a guerrilla band that included former slaves and a dashing spy. On October 17, the raiders seized Harpers Ferry, stunning the nation and prompting a counterattack led by Robert E. Lee. After Brown's capture, his defiant eloquence galvanized the North and appalled the South, which considered Brown a terrorist. The raid also helped elect Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfill Brown's dream with the Emancipation Proclamation, a measure he called \"a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIBRIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62835364692298,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/4404\/2826\/files\/IMG_6404_680b9ed8-2384-4524-8b0a-957e44d1d914.jpg?v=1785409783","url":"https:\/\/www.libris.lt\/en\/products\/tony-horwitz-midnight-rising","provider":"LIBRIS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
