What did the raid on Harpers Ferry convince the Southerners to do?
The southern states thought the Harper's Ferry Raid was typical abolitionist behavior - trying to stir-up violent revolution. The southerners saw the event as a threat to stability and peace, and an indicator that the slavery issue would never be resolved, except through combat. The Harper's Ferry Raid offered secessionists an argument which was used to hasten secession - that the raid served as an example of abuse towards the south and warned of the danger of black insurrection. The South also reorganized the militia system, making the South better prepared for war.

When John Brown led the attack on Harpers Ferry (which failed completely) it caused further division of the US between the North and the South.

While the South thought this was a just punishment for his actions, the North felt John didn't deserve to die because he was only trying to help the abolitionist's cause.
Did john brown's raid take place in Richmond Virginia?
No. The raid was at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Harper's Ferry is now in West Virginia, since West Virginia was created after the raid, in 1863. Harper's Ferry is located where the Shenandoah River flows into the Potomac River. Maryland is on the other side of the Potomac. Harper's Ferry was important because it was the location of one of the two US Government Arsenals, where weapons were made for the US Army, and were stored until they were needed. Brown intended to seize these weapons and use them to arm slaves, whom he expected would flee from their masters and join the revolt he was trying to start.
