John Brown attacked the armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia in 1859. Brown was an abolitionist from the North and he did this because he wanted to arm slaves to fight what would become the confederacy. This was only 30 years after de Tocqueville had visited and had guessed that the races would never be able to live together in the USA. Now, here were whites and blacks fighting together for freedom. The film clip is from the movie Glory which shows whites and black dying together during the Civil War for the same cause as John Brown. I think these together show that, just 30 years after de Tocqueville we had already changed quite a bit.
