John Brown (abolitionist) John Brown (May 9, 1800 â December 2, 1859) was an American abolitionist who believed armed insurrection was the only way to overthrow the institution of slavery in the United States. Brown first gained attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856.
Greenland (/ËÉ¡riËnlÉnd/; Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaat [kaËlaËÉ¬it ËnunaËt]; Danish: GrÃ¸nland [ËÉ¡ÊÉ¶nËlanË]) is an autonomous constituent country within the Kingdom of Denmark between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, east of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
Greenland was named so to attract settlers, even though it's mostly ice. Iceland has plenty of geothermal vents and a lot of green foilage...so the names are fairly ironic. Greenland is east of Canada. Iceland is west of Europe in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
