Read the synthesis example below. In 1859, John Brown was convicted of murder, treason, and inciting a slave insurrection in his efforts to end slavery in the United States. Some people "rejoic[ed] that old Brown [had] been hung" (Cincinnati Enquirer). Others saw Brown as a "patriot" who knew "that he is laying his life down for the good of his fellow creatures" (New York Tribune). His death was controversial in 1859 because of the varied views of slavery at the time. Read the article examples below. Example: Article One: The New York Tribune from December 5, 1859 On leaving the Jail, John Brown had on his face an expression of calmness and serenity characteristic of the patriot who is about to die with a living consciousness that he is laying his life down for the good of his fellow creatures.... As he stepped out of the door a black woman, with her little child in her arms, stood near his way. The twain were of the despised race for whose emancipation and elevation to the dignity of children of God he was about to lay down his life.... He stopped for a moment in his course, stooped over, and with the tenderness of one whose love is as broad as the brotherhood of man, kissed [the child] affectionately. Article Two: The Cincinnati Enquirer from December 3, 1859 We rejoice that old BROWN has been hung. He was not only a murderer of innocent persons, but he attempted one of the greatest crimes against society—the stirring up of a servile and civil war. He has paid the penalty for his crimes, and we hope his fate may be a warning to all who might have felt inclined to imitate his aggressive conduct. Now it is your turn. You need to synthesize the two articles mentioned above into one or two paragraphs. You may look at the synthesized paragraphs above for an example, but your paragraph should be different. Remember to follow the process hints mentioned earlier in this lesson.
