I started to research on an important event that occurred in Loudoun, VA. John Brown raid occurred nearby Loudoun County, VA at Harper’s Ferry having a deep and lasting effects. Brenda Stevenson book, Life in Black and White: Family and Community in the Slave South, focuses on events that occurred in Loudoun County, VA. Stevenson book explains “John Brown’s short-lived and ill-fated rebellion and its far-reaching impact on the institution of slavery in the Southern town of Loudoun”.[1]
When using the Oxford Scholarship Online site, I was not successful with gathering multiple sources. I had to search all presses to gather more than historical background information. It’s appears this site did not provide much sources on this said topic.

Mostly History 
During this day and age, this information gives us insight to how things were during and after the Civil War. Like today, the division in the community in Virginia caused turmoil. There are those who want a change regarding racism and those who want things to stay the same. This has led to the disorder and unrest we have seen recently in our time. Once again, I have enjoyed watching and reading your journey!
