Where we meme (joking in tone and detail, serious in sentiment) about General Sherman, the Civil War, and how the secesh traitors had it coming.

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

I had to squint because of the blurriness, but it says it was carried during the raid by one of John Brown's men during the raid. Wonder if that includes John Brown himself as a possibility.
Not unless whoever wrote the plaque was truly terrible at English. In which case he probably wouldn't have got the job as chief plaque writer
Maybe it was written by AI.
Old John Brown left Kansas
Before the blood had dried
And as he rode his head did shine
Like the sun in mid-July
In a tiny farm house
By Brunswick Piano
He warmed his boots by the fireplace
And read aloud from Samuel
'David rose
To beat the Philistines
With five smooth stones
And a sling'
Where is this from?
