John Brown was born in 1800 in Torrington, Connecticut to a father who hated slavery. As a boy, Brown witnessed the brutal beating of a slave with an iron shovel, an image that haunted him. Later in life, Brown led an unsuccessful raid on an armory at Harpers Ferry to start a slave rebellion. He was subsequently hanged for treason, murder, and insurrection. His actions were an early catalyst in the events that led to the American Civil War and the eventual abolition of slavery.

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.

John Brown led a raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 hoping to start a slave revolt. He was captured along with 21 men, including 5 black men, and was later hanged for his actions. The raid gained significant attention as it showed the divide between abolitionists in the North and pro-slavery advocates in the South. Events like the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision inflamed tensions by renewing hopes of expanding slavery and ruling that blacks could not be citizens, pushing Brown and others to take action. His raid was seen as a catalyst for the eventual Civil War as it demonstrated the North was willing to use force and increased political tensions between free and slave states.

In March 1968, a company of US soldiers brutally killed over 500 civilians, including women, children and elderly, in the Vietnamese hamlet of My Lai during the Vietnam War. Higher-ranking officers initially covered up the massacre but it was later revealed by a soldier, Ron Ridenhour, sparking international outrage. Only Lieutenant William Calley was convicted for his role in the incident, despite efforts for a cover-up. The revelations of the massacre exacerbated anti-war sentiment in the US and caused troop morale in Vietnam to plummet.
