John Brown's goal was to begin a slave rebellion. Harper's Ferry was a Federal arsenal and thus a source for arms for the slave rebellion.

The slave rebellion led by the slave, Spartacus, against the might of Rome.
Nat Turner led the first slave rebellion.
Nat Turner led the 1831 slave rebellion in Virginia. It was also known as the Southampton Rebellion.
John Brown chose Harper's Ferry as the site for his raid because it was a strategic location with a federal armory, which housed a significant stockpile of weapons and ammunition. Capturing the armory would enable him to arm enslaved people and incite a larger slave uprising in the South. Additionally, Harper's Ferry was near the border between the free North and the slave-holding South, making it a focal point for his abolitionist efforts. Brown believed that a successful raid could spark a nationwide rebellion against slavery.
One of John Brown's main goals in attacking the federal armory at Harpers Ferry was to initiate an armed slave uprising in Virginia. apex.............To provide arms for a massive slave uprising
