Letter, J. R. Giddings to My Dear Sir [John Brown] Author: Giddings, Joshua R. (Joshua Reed) , 1795-1864 Date: March 17, 1856 Congressman Joshua R. Giddings an abolitionist Republican from Ohio and good friend of the Brown family there, wrote from the U.S. "Hall of Reps" regarding his desire to provide support for Brown and his cause in Kansas and of his belief that the federal troops there would not be used "to shoot the Citizens of Kansas." Although he indicated a need for more "men and arms" in the territory to insure victory, Giddings was "confident there will be no war in Kansas."
