ask he's being urged to emancipate slaves, he says, no, this would be like a john brown raid on a massive scale, and he means that in a negative way. it would alarm the border states that he needed, it was the wrong way to go. but then, you know, unlike brown he's a man who is positioned depending on circumstance and, ultimately, fulfills brown's mission with the emancipation proclamation. and one of his most famous speeches shortly before he's assassinated by john wilkes booth who was at brown's hanging, so it's all these connections, you know, lincoln gives this famous second inaugural address in which he talks about every drop of blood drawn by the lash will have to be repaid, um, you know, by blood drawn by the sword. and this is an eerie echo of brown who says before when he goes to the gallows, of course, the sins of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood. so these two figures who start off really in very different positions kind of come together in the end.
