Best Answer

At an early age, John Brown became an ardent believer in the wrongs of slavery. When John Brown was five years old, his family left Connecticut and moved to Hudson, Ohio. Here his abhorrence (hate) of slavery became even stronger. Personally witnessing the abuse of a young black slave, he is said to have pledged "to wage an eternal war against slavery." He took his pledge seriously, very seriously, and actively fought for this cause throughout his entire life. So technically, john Brown believed slavery was wrong.
