In the defense of the US at the time, Brown was hanged on state (Virginia) charges, and after the Civil War, calls to hang Lee (or, failing that, at least Jeff Davis et co) were very loud during the administration of Andrew Johnson. Unfortunately, it was during the administration of Andrew Johnson, who wasn't much more than a fucking traitor himself, and escaped removal by impeachment by a single vote.
