Since the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11th attack, historians have interpreted John Brown as an American terrorist. This article seeks to correct that misinterpretation and situate Brown within the context of guerrilla warfare. While Brown did employ terrorist tactics, this is a common guerrilla action. Further, Brown himself and his contemporaries saw him as a guerrilla fighting in the revolutionary cause of antislavery
