CUT THE HEAD OFF THIS SNAKE "Gather up the pikes, son, it's time we head down south. Gather up the men, son, we're going where God can't be found. Where the devil makes his home. Down to the armory, we march without a sound - righteous, but terrified - on this wet October ground. Gonna be a very cold trip. Never surrender. Not till every last one is free. Never surrender to this slavocracy. You are some brave men, you've led hardscrabble lives but for this righteous cause you would gladly die. All twenty-five of you. A band of brothers, both black and white. Down to the armory, where we'll bring the fight. It's much too late for them. Let's bring the fight to them, show them how it's done. No time for politics when it's freedom to be won. Let's cut the head off this snake. I see it now, boys, that train is just ahead. Pull down those wires, make sure the telegraph is dead. The time to strike is now."
On a cold October night, John Brown marched his small band of men - including his sons - down to small town of Harper's Ferry to implement his doomed plan to arm the town's slaves and lead them in a rebellion against the slavocracy of the Southern American states. He had no faith in any political leader to eliminate what he considered the sin of slavery - only his own faith that God had chosen him to lead the crusade against it. He was prepared to die in an attempt to cut the head off the snake of slavery.
