Under Virginia law, a month had to elapse before the death sentence could be carried out. Governor Wise resisted pressures to move up the execution date because, he said, he wanted everyone to see that Brown's rights had been thoroughly respected.
Brown made it clear repeatedly in his letters and conversations that these were the happiest days of his life. He would be publicly murdered, as he put it, but he was an old man and, he said, near death anyway. Brown was politically shrewd and realized his execution would strike a massive blow against Slave Power, a greater blow than he had made so far or had prospects of making otherwise. His death now had a purpose. In the meantime, the death sentence allowed him to publicize his anti-slavery views through the reporters constantly present in Charles Town, and through his voluminous correspondence.
Before his conviction, reporters were not allowed access to Brown, as the judge and Andrew Hunter feared that his statements, if quickly published, would exacerbate tensions, especially among the enslaved. This was much to Brown's frustration, as he stated that he wanted to make a full statement of his motives and intentions through the press.[54]: 212 Once he had been convicted, the restriction was lifted, and, glad for the publicity, he talked with reporters and anyone else who wanted to see him, except pro-slavery clergy.[46]
Brown received more letters than he ever had in his life. He wrote replies constantly, hundreds of eloquent letters, often published in newspapers,[133]: 43 and expressed regret that he could not answer every one of the hundreds more he received. His words exuded spirituality and conviction. Letters picked up by the Northern press won him more supporters in the North while infuriating many white people in the South.

Just a couple of the quotes about him that I like:
“His zeal in the cause of freedom was infinitely superior to mine. Mine was as the taper light, his was as the burning sun. Mine was bounded by time. His stretched away to the silent shores of eternity. I could speak for the slave. John Brown could fight for the slave. I could live for the slave. John Brown could die for the slave.”
-Frederick Douglass
"That new saint, than whom nothing purer or more brave was ever led by into conflict and death, — the new saint awaiting his martyrdom, and who, if he shall suffer, will make the gallows glorious like the cross."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

hey frank what do you think of green horses with red eyes and cool sunglasses

The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses decided to have a conversation with itself in the freezing, icy abyss. The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses decided to have a conversation with itself in the freezing, icy abyss speaking of course with its mouth.
The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses rolled up a pretty little rock and let it go. The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses wore a scarf to cover its horns and ears and nose and teeth and eyes and private parts.
The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses rushed past a huge pile of frozen chickens, which had been packed as tightly as possible in a block of ice. The frozen chickens on the bottom had eaten each other and were dead. The frozen chickens on the top had frozen to death themselves.
The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses replied: “Of course I want to be frozen.”
The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses glanced at the giant ice block for a moment and wondered: “Well, maybe I should wear a scarf?”
The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses decided to buy a little scarf to cover up the horns and ears and private parts and nose and teeth and eyes and skin. The head of a green horse with red eyes and cool sunglasses glanced nervously at the rest of the pile of frozen chickens.
