john brown became hero of the state
At the time slaves out numbered whites from state to state in most county strongholds anywhere from 10-50 to 1 (maybe even more with the labor required for these huge Plantations); there was also the knowledge of the brutal Haitian revolts, not to mention the mostly rural and isolated existence endured by slavers. It must have been quite frightful for them. One should not characterized the southerners response as anger, but rather fear, i.e., that others might copy Brown's tactics.
The Dred Scott decision alarmed the North, because it appeared to mean that slavery was protected by the Constitution, and that no state could declare itself to be free soil. The John Brown raid alarmed the South, because it looked as though the Abolitionists were planning to arm the slaves and provoke a full-scale rebellion. Together, these two incidents drove the two sides further apart, and raised the temperature of the debate.
While the Dred Scott decision, which ruled a slave as property could accompany his master to a free state yet still remain a slave pleased southerners, it greatly agitated northerners. The Raid on Harperâ??s Ferry by radical abolitionist, John Brown inflamed southerners. The two incidents drew sharp divisions between the north and south and paved the way to the American Civil War.

Virginia - in what is now West Virginia
John Brown faught and died in the Harpers Ferry Raid in order to start a slave rebellion.
Under the alias of Issac Smith, John Brown, bought a farm in Maryland. Brown, who was intensely against slavery, led an attack on the Federal arsenal in Virginia. His goal was to free the slaves in that State and perhaps start a slave rebellion. The arsenal had the weapons John Brown needed.

Brown became a martyr for the anti slavery movement in the North.
