He remained as a cruel slaveholder, but he prayed everyday and he proved himself an instrument in the hands of the church in converting many souls (Douglass, p. 77). However, his unconvincing performance and pretending as a Christian made him even crueler. Also, since he was a slaveholder and a Christian, he couldn’t avoid having a double life.

With this statement, he justified that the crimes he committed were not in fact crimes to him at all, but work he believed need to have been done. His main point was to get people to see that slaves are still human and the injustice acts placed upon them should be returned. With all of his plans, he didn’t have much concern to the risks that may come out of its execution. Although he didn’t strictly believe that he had to kill people in order to complete his job, he had no regrets. If it got his point across, then he would take those matters.

Douglass saw that Brown was not trying to spark a full blown war, but instead wanted to get support from active slaves and anti-slavery supporters to overthrow slavery for good. Brown lighted
