VOA慢速英语 美国历史系列:布朗在哈普斯渡口发动袭击
VOICE TWO:
Brown was furious that the crowd outside had refused to honor his white flag of truce earlier in the day. He told Sinn that his men could have killed unarmed men and women, but did not do so.
"That is not quite correct," Captain Sinn said. "Mayor Beckham had no gun when he was shot."
"Then I can only say I am most sad to hear it," said Brown.
"Men who take up guns against the government," said Sinn, "must expect to be shot down like dogs."
VOICE ONE:
In Washington, President Buchanan and Secretary of War John Floyd did not learn of the rebellion at Harpers Ferry until after ten o'clock that morning. The president wanted immediate action.
