John Brown's "fiery speech"[edit]

Lead section talks about a fiery speech made by John Brown and cites a newspaper article that does not support that supposed fact. In fact, John Brown stated in jail in Harper's Ferry that he did not attend this conference: https://www.famous-trials.com/johnbrown/615-interview

Whereas I believe that paragraph should be removed, I am oblivious as to why it was added to begin with, and thus wish to pose this as a question here for the attention of someone who may be more historically informed. 76.240.162.232 (talk) 03:20, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bare quotations in "Impact of the statements" section[edit]

The way the first couple sentences in the section are are written, with the quotes being allowed to complete sentences without attributing them in the text or contextualizing them in some way, gives the bizarre impression that they are expressing the point of view shared by the encyclopedia article. 2600:4040:40E0:2500:18AC:7E83:D167:585F (talk) 11:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
