No side. He was an Abolitionist fanatic, not at all representative of the North as a whole. His actions led the South to believe that the North was in favour of an armed rebellion of slaves, and that war was inevitable.

In 1859, abolitionist John Brown raided the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, VA. He called for a slave revolt. As a result of this insurrection, he was hanged two months later. The North hailed him as a hero and the South thought him a disgrace.
When John Brown led the attack on Harpers Ferry (which failed completely) it caused further division of the US between the North and the South. When John Brown was put on trial, he was sentenced to be hung. While the South thought this was a just punishment for his actions, the North felt John didn't deserve to die because he was only trying to help the abolitionist's cause.
