Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia) was a small town, where a Federal Arsenal was located. Brown became convinced that if he started an uprising among slaves by providing weapons and strategy, the revolt would spread across the entire south. Thus, by raiding the Federal Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, he, his sons, and men could seize weapons and provide them to slaves, during what he envisioned as a revolt.
Brown's goal was to obtain weapons from the arsenal in order to arm slaves and cause a slave uprising in Virginia
