Grammar, Usage / English sentence, does this make sense? [10]

[Moved from]: "John Brown was a very contradicted man" - Does this sentence make sense?

Sorry about my spelling up there, I needed to fit everything so I had to remove some letters to make room. But yeah here is the sentence. Please help A.S.A.P!

Sentence: ---> John Brown was a very contradicted man. I am writing an essay about John Brown and I don't know if this sentence makes sense or not. If it does then let me know. If it doesn't then can you please tell me the correct way to phrase the sentence? I would really appreciate it. Thanks(:
