Premise

The series is told from the point of view of Henry "Onion" Shackleford (Joshua Caleb Johnson), a fictional enslaved boy, who is part of John Brown 's (Ethan Hawke) motley crew of abolitionist soldiers during the time of Bleeding Kansas, eventually participating in the famous 1859 raid on the Federal Armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (since 1863, West Virginia). Brown's raid failed to initiate a slave revolt as he intended, but it was one of the events that started the American Civil War. [6]

It is not just the story of Brown but that of those that accompanied him. According to Hawke, "If you really study this character, he asks a lot of you philosophically. He challenges why so many of us accept the unacceptable". Author James McBride was involved in the production and according to him, "John Brown is a real hero to me and to many Black people who are no longer alive. John Brown gave his life and two of his sons' lives to the cause of freedom for Black people, and he started the Civil War. They buried this man's story for a long time....". [7]

1"Meet the Lord" Albert Hughes Mark Richard & Ethan Hawke October 4, 2020 (2020-10-04)0.251 [10]
John Brown and his "Pottawatomie Rifles", including three of his sons, in territorial Kansas meet a young runaway slave. The slave, using the nickname Onion, joins John's group; John believes Onion is a girl and gives her a new store-bought dress, intended for one of his daughters. Throughout the series whites believe Onion is a girl, but the blacks see that he's a boy. Brown's goal is to free all the slaves, which involves killing slavers, in a massacre. John's son Frederick ends up being killed, while another son abandons the group, tired of fighting.
2"A Wicked Plot" Kevin Hooks Erika L. Johnson & Mark RichardOctober 11, 2020 (2020-10-11)0.254 [11]
Onion and Bob get separated from the Brown party. Because Onion's skin is so light, he pretends to be white, and that Bob is his slave. Hoping to reach the abolitionist town of Tabor, Iowa, where John Brown and his sons were headed, they are taken, not happily, across the Missouri River to the fictional slave-trading town of Pikesville, Missouri; Bob is put to work in a sawmill, and Onion cleans rooms in the Pikesville Hotel. Onion is central to a planned insurrection of slaves to enable them to escape. The plan is discovered, and 9 slaves about to be hanged are rescued by John Brown and his troop, who arrive with guns and a cannon. [12]
3"Mister Fred" Darnell Martin Erika L. Johnson & Jeff AugustinOctober 18, 2020 (2020-10-18)0.182 [13]
Brown, accompanied by Onion, travels by train to Rochester, New York, to talk with Frederick Douglass. Douglass delivers his famous July 4th speech. Douglass tells Brown that he cannot help him by organizing support among the blacks, as Brown wanted. Douglass is a somewhat pompous lecher, though smart and educated; he has two wives, one black and one white. He attempts to seduce Onion. Onion and John meet Emperor, a black escaped slave who is living with Douglass.
4"Smells Like Bear"Kevin HooksMark Richard & Kristen SaBerreOctober 25, 2020 (2020-10-25)0.235 [14]
Being sought by federal agents, Brown tells Onion to spot them from the smell of the bear grease in their hair. Brown later meets Hugh Forbes, a soldier who fought with Garibaldi, and gives him all his cash, more than Forbes wants, to hire him to train his men in warfare; Forbes, however, leaves town with the money. Onion is disgusted with Brown because he gave away all his money and now they have to walk to Canada. He also feels exploited, the token slave Brown trots out before audiences. Brown gives Onion his grandmother's Bible in atonement. Although Onion is free in Canada, he chooses to remain with Brown. Brown speaks in a church in Chatham, Ontario, the terminus of the Underground Railroad, proclaiming the need for violence to end slavery. He says he is not seeking money, but needs men. He refuses to divulge his plan, which God has put in his heart. Harriet Tubman, called "General", comes forward and tells the audience to trust Brown. They start volunteering. John tells the new recruits of his plan to attack Harpers Ferry, not just to free the slaves, but to start a civil war.
5"Hiving the Bees" Haifaa al-Mansour Mark Richard & Lauren SignorinoNovember 1, 2020 (2020-11-01)0.206 [15]
Douglass intends to be the most photographed American, but does not smile, to put down the lie to the stereotype of the "Happy Negro". Onion and Cook arrive in Maryland and see Harper's Ferry, Brown's destination. Cook rents the Kennedy farmhouse. Onion looks for more Black people at Colonel Louis Washington's plantation, but they throw him off the property. Maryland is a slave state and blacks think Brown will get them in trouble. Onion talks to "the railroad man", Heyward Shepherd. The rest of Brown's army arrives. The men must stay upstairs to avoid being seen; a neighbor, Mrs. Hoffmaster, calls three times, getting suspicious. Douglass, accompanied by Emperor, comes to Maryland to meet with Brown. Douglass refuses to be a part of Brown's plan. Emperor, however, will go with Brown, so Douglass returns to Rochester alone. Onion meets Annie Brown and Oliver Brown's wife, who are doing the cooking and laundry. Annie and Onion fall in love. As the two women are being sent away before the shooting starts, Onion reveals to Annie his actual gender, and his feelings for her, believing that he will never see her again. He kisses her, and departs.
6"Jesus Is Walkin'" Kate Woods Mark Richard & Erika L. JohnsonNovember 8, 2020 (2020-11-08)0.190 [16]
Heyward Shepherd gives a passphrase to Onion, for use when the men reach Harpers Ferry. However, Onion forgets to tell them until it is too late. Jason Brown shoots Shepherd after he is confronted for not knowing the phrase. Now Shepherd can never rally the local blacks, as he was supposed to do. Brown's ragtag army is gathered together, cleaning their guns and prepping them for the night's assault on Harper's Ferry. Owen stayed behind to rally the supposed crew of hiving bees. Brown is the only member of the posse who believes in the hiving, so sure that he has the Lord's backing that he neglects the need for a human plan. The negroes that are to help him never appear. Brown and his men take the Armory and station themselves inside the Armory's fire engine house, taking fifty hostages with them. He trades a hostage for breakfast for all. His men say that they should leave while they still can, but Brown is sure negroes will appear. Onion disobeys Brown's order to leave and save himself; he and two others go back to Col. Washington's, take him hostage and set his slaves free. Jim, Washington's coachman, who kicked Onion off the plantation, tells Col. Washington he has had too many years of him; Washington had sold his mother away. They return to Harpers Ferry in Washington's coach. The raiders that were supposed to hold the bridge are all dead. The survivors cannot get away. The townspeople realize there has been a murder, an insurrection, and call out the alarm. A stopped train departs and can give an alarm in the next town. Bullets are exchanged; the mayor of Harpers Ferry is killed, and Oliver Brown dies in his father's arms. Federal troops arrive.
7"Last Words" Michael Nankin Mark Richard & Ethan HawkeNovember 15, 2020 (2020-11-15)0.317 [17]
Narration from Douglass is heard explaining that the Harpers Ferry raid helped ignite the Civil War. Clarence brings Onion to Brown's prison cell, who notes that Brown had made more of an impact with his words, rather than with blunt violence. Brown's life is shown as a media event. Onion overhears a literal barbershop conversation about whether or not Brown was foolish, comparing him to Jesus. Onion notes the acceleration of public support for abolition, culminating in the Civil War. On the eve of his public hanging, Brown starts to believe that he will be more of an asset to the cause by dying than he ever was by living.
