Summary:

This was the famous raid into Virginia by John Brown, hero, martyr, madman, and murderer. A New Englander by birth, Brown distinguished himself for fearlessness and violence after the bloody struggle in Kansas where he hoped to strike a more effective blow for freedom. His crusade against slavery entailed a plan to seize the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, free the blacks in the region, and retreat to a stronghold in the mountains.
