The raid on the Harpers Ferry Federal arsenal was a failure because Brown had a serious misconception about the best way to abolish slavery in the US. His plan was ill conceived and he had no evidence at all that slaves were anywhere near a rebellion. Brown found himself at odds with the US Army and that was a huge error.
He was not able to spark the popular uprising that he had hoped. He and his followers, mostly sons and sons-in-law, were left to fight the federal forces by themselves when no one joined them.
The effect of John Brown's rebellion was his two sons were killed at Harper's Ferry. The rebellion was to seize the ammunition and arms in the federal arsenal and to arm the slaves in the area.

The objective was to steal enough weapons to arm slaves and start an uprising in Virginia
The aborted attempt to use violence to begin a slave revolt in the South actually set the abolitionist movement back, instead of aiding the fight to end slavery. Most Americans were repulsed at the tactic of John Brown to capture a Federal arsenal, and try to incite a revolution. Most Americans were against this sort of bloody tactic.
