Why did some abolitionists disagree with browns actions?

Some abolitionists disagreed with John Brown's actions because they were non-violent. They felt that active, armed attempts at abolition would result in active, armed attempts to keep slavery in tact. They feared the outbreak of a Civil War, which is exactly what happened not long after John Brown's raid.
