The antislavery abolitionist John Brown and about 18 of his followers intended to start a slave rebellion. He attacked the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
He took over the arsenal, however, he was unable to start a slave rebellion. He was captured by Union commander at the time of Robert E. Lee. Brown was hung in December of 1859 for treason against the State of Maryland. The charge was odd, in that it would have been seen as treason against the USA as the arsenal was a Federal arms depot.
