Best Answer

The Pottawatomie Massacre was an event led by John Brown that took place in the dead of night on May 24-25, 1855. John Brown led abolitionist "free soilers" in an attack in Kansas, just north of Pottawatomie Creek. They killed five settlers who were most likely pro-slavery.

This was one of the many bloody events that lead to Kansas being collectively called "Bleeding Kansas."
