I don't think I was taunting you at all, although I do think you badly underestimate the difficulty of doing right or doing good in a world with an inconsistent set of moral laws. The slave has no right to free himself under any conditions in a society that legalizes slavery. It has nothing to do with any supposed right to kill in self-defense, certainly not to kill the innocent child of a slave owner. The slave is simply not a moral agent, and must be burned as they were in South Carolina and Virginia in the days before the war. The American government supported these state murders. Have you ever wondered what happened to the other people who rebelled with John Brown? Surely you knew it was U.S. Marines under the overall command of U.S. Army Colonel R. E. Lee who captured the rebels? Does this make the American government of the day an immoral government? (I think it does; and I think its immorality might justify the Secession of the States because no State could morally be bound to obey an immoral state. --- see how complicated everything is? Where are your general principles now?)
