Looks to me like you've only changed some of the formatting and punctuation. I don't have any problem with that at all. AS far as I can tell, you've left my words as they were, for the most part. smiley - ok

Just a couple of minor things...

In the "Childhood" section...

"The Brown family moved to Hudson, Ohio in 1805, where John spent the remainder of his childhood" Needs a full stop. This may have been missing in my original.

In the "Guns and Money" section...

"One man had been killed in the initial raid, which lead to Brown being labeled as a murderer and thief, and to President Buchanan offering a reward of $250 USD for his capture. Brown responded by offering $2.50 for the arrest of Buchanan."

If "USD" applies to the $250, should it also be added to the $2.50?

Good job!

Thanks for noticing those things, NBY. I inserted the obligatory full-stop and actually removed the 'USD', since I asked TPTB about it and they thought that it was all right just to leave it as dollars and that everyone would know what that meant.

If that's all good, then I'll go ahead and return the entry!
