Answer:

John Brown was a martyr

Step-by-step explanation:

John Brown became a martyr who seeks to end slavery in America. He was a radical abolitionist. Brown set a group to stop the capture of escaped slaves after the Fugitive Act was passed. Brown found proslavery supporters to make Kansas a free state, he went west to join the cause. He became obsessed with the idea of taking action to help bring justice for enslaved Black people.
