The big event that occurred there was part of the Civil War: in 1859, a white abolitionist named John Brown tried to start an armed rebellion of slaves. He and twenty men conducted a raid on a US arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia (in some books, the town back then did not have an apostrophe, and was written Harpers Ferry); Brown hoped to capture enough weapons for the slave revolt. But the raid failed, as Col. Robert E. Lee thwarted Brown's attempt; Brown was wounded, and taken prisoner. He was later executed. But Brown's efforts as well as his passionate defense of his actions when he was being tried, inflamed many opponents of slavery, and they vowed to carry on the fight.
