The abolitionist John Brown (1800-1859) was involved in the killing of five people in the Pottawatomie massacre, as a leader of an anti-slavery group in Kansas in 1856. Three years later, he was captured, tried, and executed for his attack on the armory at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
John Brown's immediate plan was to " strike terror in the hearts of the proslavery people." Then eventually he, his four sons, and two other men went to the Pottawatomie Creek, where they seized and killed 5 supporters of slavery.
