To understand Henry “Box” Brown, it is important to understand the importance of slavery and its impact on them and their families. Helping young students understand oppression and discrimination of African Americans is particularly challenging, but without addressing this, the students’ worldview of other people cultures and values may be limited. If teachers disregard specific information in there lesson, the learning experience wouldn’t be as sensation-rich and memorable for the students.

Around the time of the early 1800's, our nation was having a battle amongst ourselves over a prevelant issue. This issue was slavery. Southern regions featured slaves taking on prominent roles in relation to the cultivation of crops such as tobacco and cotton. While there were many who were obviously pro-slavery, there were those who were against it. These abolishionists battled the institution of slavery head on and sought to destroy the system, one way or another. One of these people decided to take action by raiding a federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, a small Virginia town. The person's name was John Brown. His aim was to aid escaped slaves by equipping them with weapons, thus create an army of anti-slavery rebels that would destroy the opressive system of slavery for good. While Brown's goal was an admirable one, his venture would prove to be disappointing.
