On the night of
October 16, 1859, he led a
small band of less than 50
men in a raid against the
federal arsenal at Harper’s
Ferry, Virginia. Their aim
was to capture enough
ammunition to lead a large
operation against
Virginia’s slaveholders.
Brown’s men, including
several blacks, captured
and held the arsenal until
federal and state govern-
ments sent troops and were
able to overpower them.
John Brown was
hanged on December 2,
1859; his trial riveted the
nation, and he emerged as
an eloquent voice against
the injustice of slavery and
a martyr to the abolitionist
cause.
Just as Brown’s courage
turned thousands of previ-
ously indifferent northern-
ers against slavery, his vio-
lent actions convinced
slave owners in the South
beyond doubt that aboli-
tionists would go to any
lengths to destroy the —
peculiar institution.”
Rumors spread of other
planned insurrections, and
the South reverted to a
semi–war status.
