His Soul Goes Marching On: The Life and Legacy of John Brown looks at an event that became an important part of United States history. The seven resources cover the raid, John Brown's life, his reactions to the event, as well as news coverage of the raid, one from the perspective of the North and the other from the perspective of the South. The unit ends with class members using what they have learned to debate whether John Brown was a martyr who died for a cause or was a madman.
