Which of the following led to some Northerners labeling John Brown as a martyr?

Question

1. Brown's appearance of being insane and the failure of his raid
2. Brown's acceptance of giving up his life for his beliefs
3. Brown's desire to organize and carry out a slave revolt
4. Brown's persistence when fighting back against Southern troops

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

2. Brown's acceptance of giving up his life for his beliefs

John Brown's execution for his role in the raid on Harpers Ferry and his willingness to die for the abolitionist cause led many Northerners to see him as a martyr for the fight against slavery. The other options reflect aspects of his actions or personality but do not directly relate to the concept of martyrdom in the same way as his sacrifice for his beliefs.
