John Brown led militant abolitionist groups in Kansas in the 1850s, employing violent tactics against pro-slavery groups. In 1859, Brown led an unsuccessful raid on the federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia intending to arm slaves and incite rebellion. Brown and his followers were eventually killed or captured by local militias and U.S. Marines. The group collapsed primarily due to the external military force applied by the U.S. government in response to Brown's illegal and treasonous acts, as well as a lack of support from the local population and some abolitionists who advocated nonviolence.

John Brown led a raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 in an attempt to incite a slave rebellion. His raid failed due to poor planning and lack of support from slaves. Brown and his men were captured and Brown was later tried and hanged for treason. Though the raid itself failed, it increased tensions around the issue of slavery and contributed to the start of the Civil War. Brown became a martyr for the abolitionist cause in both the North and South due to his willingness to die for the liberation of slaves. His raid and execution made him a controversial yet iconic figure in American history.
John Brown raided the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 in an attempt to start a slave rebellion and arm freed slaves. The raid failed as Brown did not gain the support of local slaves and was surrounded by local militia and US Marines. Brown was captured and later hanged for treason against Virginia. Though unsuccessful, the raid heightened sectional tensions between north and south and helped propel the nation toward civil war.
This document discusses the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal and its impact. It summarizes the graphic photos that were leaked showing U.S. soldiers torturing and humiliating Iraqi detainees. This challenged the mythic representations of the U.S. invasion that were presented in mainstream media. The abuse was systemic and widespread beyond just Abu Ghraib, occurring in other U.S. run prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan. The scandal undermined U.S. moral authority and credibility around the world by appearing hypocritical given previous claims that such abuses no longer occurred in Iraq.
John Brown (1800-1859) was a white American abolitionist who believed armed insurrection was the only way to overthrow slavery. In 1859, he led an unsuccessful raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry in an attempt to start a slave liberation movement. He was convicted of treason and murder and was hanged. Historians agree his raid escalated tensions that led to the American Civil War the following year. While some viewed Brown as a terrorist, others considered him a heroic martyr who helped end slavery. His actions remain controversial.
Francis Marion, Irregular Life of an Irregular WarriorCraig Campbell
This document provides a summary of the life and career of Francis Marion, known as the "Swamp Fox" for his guerilla tactics against the British in South Carolina during the American Revolutionary War. It describes how Marion helped keep the dream of American independence alive after the fall of Charleston through hit-and-run attacks on British forces from hiding places in the swamps. Though he never commanded a large army, Marion's irregular warfare tied down British troops and allowed other American forces to regroup against the British. The document provides background on Marion's early life and military service prior to the Revolutionary War, and highlights some of his key campaigns and successes in harassing the British as the "Swamp Fox" through tactics learned fighting
The document discusses and compares GW Bush's Iraq War and Obama's ending of the war. It argues that Bush's war was a huge mistake based on false pretenses that Iraq had WMDs and ties to Al Qaeda. The war cost over 1 million Iraqi lives and thousands of US lives, and ultimately ended American empire due to its immense costs and loss of public support for future wars. While Obama had flaws, getting US troops out of Iraq was the right decision, in contrast to Bush's incompetence and willful ignorance that led to the war.

The document discusses growing concerns in the Obama administration over the Saudi-led military campaign in Yemen and efforts to restore peace. Secretary of State John Kerry may visit Saudi Arabia next week to discuss issues with the campaign and explore new strategies. The U.S. initially backed the bombing campaign but is now worried about the civilian death toll and the possibility that arms supplied to pro-government forces could fall into terrorist hands. The administration is also seeking ways to restart mediation between Houthi rebels and the exiled Yemeni government.
This thesis examines how John Brown, a radical abolitionist, became viewed as the avatar of Southern fears after his failed raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. Despite the raid ending quickly and Brown's execution, he became a symbol to the South of Northern aggression against slavery. The thesis analyzes how Brown was portrayed in the Southern press, political speeches, and diaries to understand why such a spectacular failure resonated so strongly. Previous historians have described Brown and the raid, but none have fully explored how Brown took on this outsized role in the Southern psyche leading up to the Civil War.
John S. Mosby was a Confederate partisan ranger during the American Civil War. He organized a group of irregular troops known as Mosby's Rangers who conducted lightning-fast raids on Union outposts and supply lines. Some of their most daring missions included Mosby's 1863 raid on the Union garrison at Fairfax Courthouse where he captured the garrison's commander while he slept. Through cunning tactics like blending in with civilians after attacks and hitting multiple targets in a night, Mosby's Rangers were able to effectively harass Union forces despite small numbers.

The Civil War was fought between 1861-1865 and resulted from decades of tensions between the northern and southern states over slavery and states' rights. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 prompted several southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. Major battles like Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863 were turning points that shifted momentum to the Union. The war ended in April 1865 with Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia. Over 360,000 Union soldiers and 258,000 Confederate soldiers lost their lives in the war.
This document discusses the history and purpose of the Red Faction Brigade militia group in the 1980s. It describes how the group was formed by Dr. Robert Silva to protect civilians from human rights abuses by some members of the U.S. military who were influenced by Sergei Chenko's movement. The Red Faction Brigade engaged in armed conflicts in California and Germany to stop actions like child abuse and intimidation of families by these military groups. The document argues that militias may have a role in enforcing human rights and self-defense when the government is unable or unwilling to protect civilians from internal threats.
It is not a secret to anyone that MEK receives funding from US think tanks and has the backing of Israel. They will do what MEK is good at; causing chaos and death for Iranians and pursuing a war with Iran. You are not doing the Israelis or Americans a favor. Iranian people, to whom I talk on regular basis, prefer the current regime, as bad as it is, to MEK. They believe the Iranian regime has run its course and is short of breath while MEK is fresh out of the academy and willing to stretch its muscles. Whoever stands up against MEK will receive the same reward as their own outcast members; a bullet to the brain.
Spirituals sung by enslaved Africans and their descendants connected their struggle for freedom. Singing communally was one of the few forms of expression available to slaves. Spirituals evolved over time, taking on new meanings in the civil rights movement as freedom songs. Major nonviolent protests like the Selma marches utilized spirituals to strengthen solidarity and commitment to overcoming racial injustice through nonviolent means. The civil rights movement saw many advances, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but continued to face violent opposition and racism. Music was a powerful tool used throughout the struggle.
Female US military personnel commandeered over 150 US military aircraft and used them to conduct airstrikes on North Korean military bases while also dropping food and supplies. This helped spark a popular uprising in North Korea that ultimately led to the death of Kim Jong-un and the overthrow of his regime. The female-led mission, dubbed "Mothers of Mention", was planned and led by Major General Gladys Duryea and helped bring freedom to North Korea and relief around the world.
1. The US colluded with the Bolivian military behind the back of President Eduardo Rodriguez to remove 28 outdated Chinese surface-to-air missiles from Bolivia. The missiles were part of a weapons purchase from China in 1986.
2. In September 2005, while President Rodriguez was away, the Bolivian military loaded the missiles onto a truck and transferred them to a US military aircraft to be taken out of the country. Rodriguez was not informed of this operation.
3. The US Pentagon also left behind a $400,000 "thank you" payment agreement for the Bolivian military, raising suspicions about US motives. This has led to questions about why the US acted without notifying the democratic
The document summarizes the Abu Ghraib prison scandal that occurred in 2004. US military police were tasked with guarding prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Due to miscommunication between leaders, lack of training, and a dysfunctional chain of command, the prison conditions deteriorated. Some military police began abusing and humiliating prisoners for their own enjoyment, leading to the scandal and torture revelations that damaged America's reputation.
1) In November 1979, Iranian students seized the US Embassy in Tehran and took 66 US citizens and diplomats hostage for 444 days.
2) Tensions between the US and Iran stemmed from the 1953 CIA-backed coup that reinstated the Shah, as well as the Shah receiving medical treatment in the US.
3) A failed US rescue operation in 1980 ended with 8 service members killed, deepening the crisis. Negotiations failed as Iran demanded concessions like returning the Shah.
Jack Barry, a four-time World Series champion and player-manager of the Boston Red Sox, enlisted in the US Navy in June 1917 after the US entered WWI. Barry and many of his Red Sox teammates served at the Charlestown Navy Yard, where they were permitted to form a baseball team to boost morale on the home front. Their owner Harry Frazee caused a distraction by repeatedly petitioning the Navy for their release to play in 1918, but the players unanimously voted to remain in service. Barry honorably served his duty throughout the war without seeking special treatment.
Revisiting the Voyage of the Damned by Rafael Medoff | Prism cjhs
Secretary of State John Kerry referenced the voyage of the refugee ship St. Louis in discussions with the Senate about intervening in Syria. The St. Louis carried over 900 Jewish refugees from Germany in 1939 who were denied entry to Cuba and the United States, forcing the ship to return to Europe where many passengers later perished in the Holocaust. Kerry's mention of the St. Louis highlighted how America's reluctance to act and provide refuge contributed to Jewish suffering during the Holocaust, and suggested this history should influence discussions around responding to the Syrian civil war and Assad's treatment of civilians. The document then provides historical details about the St. Louis voyage and the Roosevelt administration's decision not to offer the refugees entry to the U.S. despite
The document criticizes Barack Obama for continuing the same imperialist foreign policies as George W. Bush, despite campaigning on a message of change. It argues Obama's troop surge in Afghanistan mirrors Bush's surge in Iraq and is aimed at preserving American corporate and military dominance abroad rather than helping ordinary Afghans or Pakistanis. The document claims Obama, like Bush, ignores public opinion polls showing most people in the region want an end to foreign occupation and intervention.
This document summarizes the contributions of various women during the American Revolution. It discusses women who served as soldiers disguised as men, provided intelligence and medical support as camp followers, defended fortifications like Margaret Corbin, delivered messages as couriers like Sybil Ludington and Emily Geiger, operated spy rings like Anna Strong in the Culper Spy Ring, organized patriotic groups like Esther de Berdt Reed, published newspapers like Mary Katherine Goddard, defended their homes like Nancy Hart, managed estates while their husbands were at war like Catherine Schuyler, offered political advice and commentary through correspondence like Abigail Adams, and produced patriotic writings like Mercy Otis Warren. The document conveys that women
Hong Xiuquan failed the imperial exams and converted to Christianity. He started a new religious cult where he believed he was the younger brother of Jesus. This cult grew into a rebel army called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that sought to overthrow the Qing dynasty. The Taiping army grew to millions but faced opposition from the Imperial army and European mercenaries. They captured many cities but ultimately their capital of Nanjing fell in 1864, ending the rebellion. Hong was killed during the final defeat.

Blended Learning for Compliance Training WebinarKineo
Contrary to what some may think, compliance training is not the “enemy.” No, the problem we’re facing is the fact that so many organizations simply slap a bunch of bullets and boxes on a screen, force learners to sit through countless slides, and call it “training.” This makes for a very unpleasant experience that learners dread. And we don’t blame them.
Just because we have to do something, doesn’t mean it needs to be awful. Let’s consider a different approach, a blended approach. In this webinar presented by Cammy Bean, VP of Learning Design, and Chip Cleary, VP of Solutions & Consulting, they will discuss how blended learning design can make a difference for your compliance training.
Chip and Cammy discussed:
- Discuss key challenges with compliance training
- How to develop a “blend” that works for compliance
- Share real-life use cases and examples of great compliance training “blends”

This document provides background context on Kate Chopin's short story "Story of an Hour" by discussing the time period in which it was written and social norms for women in late 19th century America. Women had very little autonomy and control over their lives as they could not vote, own property, pursue careers or education, and faced losing their children and possessions if they divorced. However, upon their husband's death, widows gained independence, suggesting this context is crucial to understanding Louise Mallard's reaction to news of her husband's death in the story.

John Brown was opposed to slavery from birth due to his father's vocal abolitionist views. In 1837, he took an oath to end slavery in the U.S. or die trying. Throughout his life he supported abolitionist causes despite financial struggles. In 1856, his efforts in Kansas raised his profile but in 1859 he led an attempt to take over the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry to arm a slave rebellion. When local militia and U.S. Marines arrived, Brown was captured, tried, and executed for treason in December 1859. His raid increased sectional tensions and debates over slavery and secession.
The document summarizes information about African Americans in the 1800s and during the U.S. Civil War. It discusses an exhibit at the 1900 Paris Exposition showcasing photographs and materials about African American history and conditions. It also provides details on African American troops in the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, including statistics on casualties and estimates of how many served in the Confederate ranks, both as soldiers and in support roles. The document concludes with a short biography of William Harvey Carney, who was the first African American to receive the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions while serving in the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment during the Civil War.
The Republican Party grew in the 1850s in opposition to the expansion of slavery. John Brown launched a raid in 1859 on the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, intending to start a slave revolt but failing to do so. Brown was captured and hanged for treason in 1859. His actions increased sectional tensions and polarized views on slavery, contributing to the conditions that led to the Civil War.

This document discusses how Memorial Day evolved in the post-Civil War era from the 1860s to 1915. Initially, Memorial Day ceremonies reflected sectional divisions between the North and South. However, by the 1890s, trends toward national reconciliation and unity had advanced due to the Spanish-American War. Locally, Memorial Day also became a more popular, inclusive holiday that was less focused on reverence. However, some still found issue with the standard celebrations and observed Memorial Day in their own way. The document provides examples of early incidents that stirred sectional tensions and divisive Memorial Day speeches, while also noting the trend toward bringing the regions together over this time period.
This document provides a summary of a sermon given about John Brown, the abolitionist who led an unsuccessful raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859. The sermon explores whether Brown should be seen as a martyr or madman for his embrace of violence to end slavery. It describes Brown's background and radicalization against slavery. It also discusses the role of the "Secret Six" - a group of wealthy abolitionists from Boston including ministers and activists who clandestinely funded and supported Brown's plans, hoping violence could help end slavery and possibly start a civil war. While their support was meant to further the cause of abolition from afar, Brown's raid was a failure that led to his execution for treason. The sermon
Americans responded differently to shifting views of slavery prior to the Civil War. While slavery was introduced in the 17th century and supported the agricultural economy of the South through the 1800s, the abolition movement and westward expansion led to debates over slavery. Northerners increasingly opposed the expansion of slavery for economic and moral reasons, while Southerners argued slavery was crucial to their economy and way of life. These regional divisions came to a head in the 1850s as the Republican Party opposed expanding slavery and the Supreme Court ruled blacks had no citizenship rights, increasing tensions and ultimately leading to the Civil War in 1861 over the issues of states' rights and slavery.
The document provides a detailed overview of the key events and issues around slavery and the American Civil War from 1820 to 1865, including:
1) The passage of compromises like the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and Compromise of 1850 in an attempt to balance the number of slave and free states.
2) The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which allowed territories to decide whether to allow slavery, fueling tensions between abolitionists and pro-slavery groups.
3) Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 which prompted southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
4) Major battles and campaigns of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865, culminating in Lee's

Introduction:
Beginning in 1856, John Brown led a force of anti-slavery men in what is known as
“Bleeding Kansas” in an attempt to end the spread of slavery into the territories of the United
States. Brown and his followers employed terror tactics and guerilla warfare to try to influence
an ending of slavery in the United States until his eventual capture and death in 1859. Browns’
use of terror tactics and brutality eventually lost him the support of the people he was attempting
to free, resulting in his and his followers’ isolation at a critical moment, and their downfall. This
essay will examine the background of John Browns campaign of terror as well as the nature of
Browns actions in Kansas and Virginia, and analysis of these events and terror tactics in order to
determine possible parallels between the actions and outcomes pertaining to Brown and his
followers and the possible outcomes of the terror tactics employed by the Islamic State.
Background:
John Brown, born May 9, 1800, became an ardent anti-slavery agitator in Springfield,
Massachusetts in the mid 1840’s and in 1850 formed the League of Gileadites in order to protect
freed and escaped slaves from being returned to captivity in response to the Fugitive Slave Act.1
This is notable as the first militant anti-slavery group founded by Brown, with the clear intention
of ending the institution of slavery in the United States. Brown later moved to Kansas in

and many anti-slavery families were unprepared for attack. There, Brown drew upon local
abolitionist men as well as his many sons to create his own small anti-slavery militia with which
to defend anti-slavery homesteads and towns, and with which to strike at those in Kansas who
supported slavery. Brown would later attempt to draw upon recruits from across the Northern
states, Canadian abolitionists, and the slave population of the South. Unfortunately, in many
cases support failed to appear.2
Brown was particularly affected by the sacking of Lawrence in 1856, in which pro-
slavery forces also known as Border Ruffians destroyed multiple buildings in the town. This
appears to have cemented the notion that the struggle of the anti-slavery forces also would need
to operate outside of the law. Three days after the attack on Lawrence, Brown and other anti-
slavery forces attacked and killed five pro-slavery Border Ruffians in the Pottawatomie
massacre, which in turn sparked the series of guerilla violence which is now known as Bleeding
Kansas.3 Brown participated in several more notable clashes in Kansas during his time as a
guerilla leader there, including the defense of Palmyra and the battle at Osawatomie, in which
Brown led a force of just 38 against a band of over 300 Missourian Border Ruffians intent on
marching on Topeka and Lawrence. Although defeated, Brown inflicted casualties
disproportional to the number of men under his command on the Border Ruffians, earning him a
name as a respected military commander amongst northern abolitionists. Brown and his men
continued to operate in Kansas until 1858, in which he left Kansas to begin preparing for his raid
into Virginia.

3. This preparation allowed Brown to recruit more followers and accumulate a large amount
of money, firearms, and pikes with which to institute the next stages of his campaign against
slavery: a raid into Virginia to ignite a large scale slave rebellion. This funding and support
allowed for a relative change in the groups capabilities, although did little to effect the size of
Browns followers, especially in the long term. The capabilities of Browns followers theoretically
increased dramatically, with outside funding from wealthy donors in New England who pledged
both money and arms to the group. This could have allowed for a semi-successful slave
rebellion; however it is unlikely that an untrained force of former slaves would have been able to
sustain an insurrection for long, especially armed mainly with pikes. After this period of
preparation, Brown initially entered Harpers Ferry in July of 1859 and bought a farm house from
which to launch his attack. Over the course of the next few months, Browns followers arrived,
although in numbers far less than had originally been hoped for. Abolitionist Frederick Douglass,
who had been an ally of Brown’s, quietly undercut his efforts to create a slave rebellion by
discouraging slaves from joining with Brown. This was due to Douglass’ opinion that Brown and
his followers were “‘going into a perfect steel trap, and that once in he would not get out alive.”4
All told, John Brown led a force of only 22 men on his raid.5
Brown and his men attacked the Harpers Ferry on 16 October, 1859 with the intention of
securing its thousands of rifles with which to arm slaves in the region in order to overthrow the
institution of slavery. However, support for the raid never materialized, and Brown and his men
were left holed up in Harpers Ferry without support from the local slave population. Local
militiamen, farmers, and townsmen surrounded the armory and cut off any attempt at escape,
forcing Brown and his men to take cover in an engine house, where they were eventually

4. assaulted and either killed or captured by U.S Marines under the command of Colonel Robert E.
Lee. Brown was taken captive, tried, and hung for treason, murder, and conspiring with slaves to
rebel. All together, the raid cost the lives of four militiamen, wounding nine others while Brown
lost a total of ten men during the fighting.
Over the course of Brown’s career as a militant abolitionist, his adversaries ranged from
pro-slavery militia forces in Kansas, pro-slavery Border Ruffian forces from Missouri, and the
Federal Government, as well as local Virginia militiamen in the region of Harpers Ferry.
However, Browns objectives remained steady and clear throughout the years of his militancy,
with only the targets of his guerilla operations changing over time. Brown’s use of terror tactics
to bring about his goals, while ultimately unsuccessful, can certainly be counted as having been a
factor in the Civil War, which ultimately brought about the changes Brown had hoped to
accomplish through his use of violence.
Analysis:
John Brown and his supporters were eventually compelled to disband and discontinue
their militant by the outside military power of the United States government and local
nonmilitary allies during Browns’ failed raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown waged a guerilla
campaign against and in response to pro-slavery groups in Kansas in 1856 before moving on to
plan his raid on Harpers Ferry. In all, Brown and his followers were effectively operational for
only three years, however; they were able to make a lasting impression in the United States,
sparking severely heightened animosity in both Northern abolitionists and those in the Southern
pro-slavery camp.
5. The external force applied to Brown and his followers resulting in the collapse of the
group resulted primarily from the U.S government, however it also came from the local
opponents of Brown in the region of Harpers Ferry. Expecting a much greater force to bolster his
small band, Brown was wholly unprepared to adapt his methods of coercion, refined in the
comparatively sparsely populated Kansas territory, to the more populated regions of what is now
a West Virginia township. This effort to collapse Brown’s group was initiated because of what
Brown himself described as his intent to continue “Kansas work” in the South.6 Wholly illegal
and arguably treasonous due to the attack on a Federal building, the United States government
had little choice but to array military forces against Brown.
The group was not replaced or ousted by a rival ideology; however they were in constant
conflict with those in the pro-slavery camp. It may also be considered that there was a rival
ideology within the abolitionist movement that preferred peaceful nonviolent agitation to end
slavery as opposed to Browns methods of violence. This group was headed by men such a
Frederick Douglass, who was instrumental in the downfall of Brown and his followers. Because
support was discouraged by those who adhered to the less violent method of abolition, Brown
and his group were left in an untenable defensive situation from which there was no escape.
Although the group was primarily compelled to collapse by force, a crucial secondary cause of
collapse was the lack of anticipated support by the slave population of Virginia.
Brown and his men were well financed, and were equipped with 200 rifles and around
1000 pikes.7 Their downfall had nothing to do with a loss of resource control or a lack of

6. resource control. Had Brown succeeded in his efforts to incite a rebellion, wealthy anonymous
donors were able to very nearly fund one of the most dramatic events in American history.
Although at times there was internal dissent, the group was not collapsed due to a power
struggle or split within the group. The men that were loyal to Brown and his cause stayed with
him to the end; many of whom died fighting at Harpers Ferry or were hung with him afterword.
These included Brown’s sons, two of whom died in the fighting at the armory.
It is important to note that Brown and his group collapsed from a serious misjudgment on
the level of effort and commitment it would take to end the institution of slavery in the U.S.
Brown believed a force of armed former slaves would be able to march through the South,
attracting slaves as it went, and thus wrecking the economic utility of slavery, therefor ending the
institution. However, we know that only one year later the Civil War began, which became about
the question of slavery. It took five years, many thousands of lives, and countless dollars in
damage to end slavery, which was not a calculation Brown had apparently made. The institution
was too well embedded to have been driven out without a major war, which was not something
Brown was prepared to begin. Thus, Brown and his groups collapse is as much a symptom of
misjudgment as it is one of external pressure. Brown attempted to apply tactics that had proven
effective in the territory of Kansas to an area with the institution of slavery well entrenched, and
consequently failed in his attempted campaign.
Conclusion:
John Brown and his followers were ultimately forced to collapse through a joint effort of
the United States government and local non-military allies only three years after the beginnings
of their guerrilla campaign against the supporters of slavery. Although largely successful in his
7. efforts to keep Kansas free, Brown’s use of violence alienated him from crucial backers such as
Frederick Douglass, who could have ensured that Brown was able to recruit a larger number of
men to his cause. Similarly, Brown attempted to apply inapplicable tactics to a different
situation, resulting in his followers and himself being cut off and surrounded during their raid on
Harpers Ferry, ending the group.
The fate of Brown and his followers could potentially be applied to a possible ending of
the modern day Islamic State. Support at a crucial moment could be lost due to the groups’
inherently or perhaps escalated levels of violence, or for various other reasons. However, loss of
crucial manpower during a time of crisis and vulnerability could ensure a collapse of the Islamic
States’ forces and a rolling back of their territorial control. Additionally, an attempt to apply
tactics out of date or ineffective in a new environment, without an appropriate estimation of the
level of resistance expected, could lead to a disaster for the Islamic State. ISIL may, if
confronted with an objective deemed to be vitally important, over extend its forces or commit to
a precarious position without adequate plans for either extraction or retreat, ensuring that forces
arrayed against ISIL will be able to possibly collapse the group externally, just as John Brown
and his followers were collapsed when faced with a numerically superior opposition in a
strategically vulnerable position.
