Forgive my ignorance, I know it's a historical place but I didn't pay much attention to what happened. Something to do with a bloke called John Brown who wanted to free the slaves (good old bloke if you ask me). He got a bit upset and he and his mates went to Harpers and had a fight with some other blokes who thought slavery was good. Sadly he got caught and hanged [is it hanged or hung ] for treason. Anyway that's what started the American civil war (so I read).
We drove the back roads which gave me a real sense of America. Other than the freeway from the airport and the short walks near our apartment I haven't seen anything of America - I liked it though.
