John Brown, a fervent abolitionist, led a daring raid on the federal armory at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, on October 16, 1859, in an attempt to ignite a slave revolt. With a small force of followers, he seized the arsenal, hoping to arm enslaved people and spark widespread rebellion. However, his plan quickly unraveled—local militia and U.S. Marines, commanded by Robert E. Lee, overwhelmed Brown’s forces within two days. Captured and later executed, Brown became a martyr for the abolitionist cause, deepening sectional tensions that would soon erupt into the Civil War. His raid, though unsuccessful in its immediate goals, profoundly shaped the national debate over slavery and resistance.
