What did John Brown do?
John Brown (May 9, 1800-December 2, 1859) opposed the slave holding practices of the Southern states in the 19th century. Specifically, he was such a fervent abolitionist th…at he supported and practiced violent means to end slavery. He carried out his beliefs to such an extent that his actions contributed to the anguished crisis of a "bleeding" Kansas reeling from violent clashes for and against slavery. For example, he was responsible for the deaths of pro-slavery Southerners in the Pottawatomie Massacre of May 1856. Brown then carried out his beliefs in what is now West Virginia, but was then Virginia. For example, he led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, in 1859. The result was a count of seven dead and more than ten injured. For that raid, Brown ultimately was captured, tried and hanged. (MORE)

Who influenced john brown on his raid?
Most likely he was inflluenced by: 1 -the insurrectionary ideas expressed of Count Charles Bianco of Saint-Jorioz, who in 1830s had published in Europa a treatise focused on t…he war of insurrection carried on by guerrilla warfare and, 2 - Giuseppe Mazzini, who in 1832 had published a Handbook of Italian Revolutionary and, in 1848, an article on the issue of slavery in the United States in the magazine "The Bell of Liberty". Although there is no evidence that John Brown had ever read these works, it is worth pointing out that the same enjoyed a great popularity in the radical anti-slavery circles in New York and therefore could have been a source of inspiration for Brown, who was allegedly keeping on good terms with them. As statement of fact, both Saint-Jorioz and Mazzini theorized a guerrilla warfare carried on by little groups of fighters standing on and moving from the mountains and Brown, after visiting Europe in 1849, declared to his friend Richard Raelf some years later that: "He had visited all the fortifications and field works he was able to find and approach, and he would apply all the information acquired on the conduct of (a future) guerrilla warfare in the United States.
