Okay, so we know John Brown is wrong right? Because he mounted  a slave rebellion. We also know Garrison is wrong, because he wrote an abolitionist paper.
Taney made the Dread Scott decision as a Supreme Court Justice.
Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederacy
So which one of those people do you think would be correct?
