The North was not uniform in its reaction to Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and his punishment for it. The most vocal of those who did speak out in speeches and editorials, however, tended to favor his actions. One Abolitionist Editorial called John Brown "the most practical Abolitionist in the country." Such fiery rhetoric convinced southerners, already paranoid, that all northerners were set to free all their slaves at the first opportunity.
