It's funny you said john brown did a raid and killed a farmer, yet didnt mention how you he also killed the women and children of said farmer in cold blood. Sick of people acting like he is a hero and it's a big part of the reason the federal government took action against him, he was a psychopath that would eliminate innocent people to achieve his goals, abolition is a good thing, but he isn't the hero that they've recently tried to make him out to be.
@lukei.1227 Says:
Pinkerton was right about labor unions during his time.
They were terroristic labor cartels often infiltrated by communists, anarchists, and the mafia. They also bomb people’s houses and physically assaulted people who were “scabs.”

Some things are almost unspeakably evil. He seems to have had a good moral compass. That’s something not said for everyone.

@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC Says:
Interesting how the Democrats caused slavery and how they caused the Civil War and how they started the KKK and how they shaped the liberal media to blame the Republicans of all that has happened against the blacks. The power of word people. It can set you free.

First time I heard about the Pinkertons was in Bioshock Infinite.
@Orleborleh Says:
Their manhunt of the Van der Linde gang, and sponsorship from Leviticus Cornwall around 1899, I feel like spelled a sort of disaster with the massive manpower loss they took in their quest. Even loosing their head detective Milton.

The Agency is still around but I think only does government contracts after an act that was passed in the late 19th century.

@davidsiregar1105 Says:
Allan Pinkerton is a Secret Agent or Spy who protects the 16th President of the United States, Mr. President Abraham Lincoln who wanted to leave by train from Springfield, Illinois, Ohio, to the White House, Washington, DC, to hold President Lincoln's inauguration, because before leaving, Pinkerton already knew about the plan that Mr. President Lincoln would be killed or shot by Southern Sympathizers who were Pro-Slavery and opposed to Mr. President Lincoln on the Abolition of Slavery.
Allan Pinkerton he's a Great Spy of Mr. President Abraham Lincoln 👍

6:19)Slavery was legal in almost every state.Rhode Island outlawed it when still a colony.Freed had to carry papers.Freeborn, US or from elsewhere, also had to carry papers.A Canadian was lynched during a slave revolt.Up to 1863, slave catchers could cross the lines and to bring back alleged slaves.
9:22)The Chicago PD was organized 10 April,1855. How did he become a city detective in 1849?
@AppleTrujillo Says:
Thank you for making this. I’m a Pinkerton Myself. My grandfathers name is Allen Eugene Pinkerton. So for sure this man you are educating everyone about is my great great great great great grandfather hahah. My fathers dad however went by Eugene his middle name. He was a stunt man in movies.

@patrickkelly5004 Says:
My great-great uncle, James McDonnell, was one of the last Molly Maguires hung in Mauch Chunk PA (today's Jim Thorpe PA) for his alleged participation in strike violence that left one law enforcement person dead in 1863. A stay of execution from Pennsylvania's governor was waiting outside the hanging room door, but could not be delivered in time to save uncle James' neck.
Well done, Mr. Pinkerton!
