约翰·布朗 (废奴主义者)

约翰·布朗（John Brown；1800年5月9日－1859年12月2日），美国起义领袖、废奴主义者，1856年曾参加堪萨斯内战，赢得胜利。1859年他率众在哈伯斯费里举事，要求废除奴隶制，并逮捕一些庄园主，解放了许多奴隶。举事失利，布朗被捕并被处绞。

约翰·布朗最开始在堪萨斯流血事件危机中引起了注意力。不像大多数北方人认为应该通过和平手段，以谈判模式，协调解决奴隶制废存问题，约翰·布朗认为应该采取暴动。

在1856年5月堪萨斯的流血冲突中，他和同伴杀害了5名南方奴隶主。1859年他在弗吉尼亚州哈珀斯费里发动起义，7人（包括一名黑人）丧生，10余人受伤。3天之后，他的同伴多被杀害，起义被罗伯特·李将军镇压，约翰·布朗自己亦被逮捕并处决。约翰·布朗的死成为了引发南北战争的重要原因之一。
