The wave of demonstrations that followed in the north the execution of John Brown, came to persuade southerners that:

- the attack on Harper's Ferry was a test of a general armed attack against the South,

- the North virtually demanded the unconditional surrender of the South and was ready to get it by force,

- the future looked very dark and wondered if another large scale Pottawatomie massacre was next to be led against them and their families,

- they felt themselves like being in a besieged fortress and the first task was that of defend their world and way of life.

It seemed therefore evident for the southerners that they should prepare to fight.
