How did southerners react to john brown's raid on harpers ferry?

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.


What was the significance of the dread Scott decision and john browns raid on harpers ferry?

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.


How did the Dred Scott decision and the Brown's Harper's Ferry Raid deepend sectional antagonism?

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.

His goal was to free the slaves in that State and perhaps start a slave rebellion. The arsenal had the weapons John Brown needed.
