The objective was to steal enough weapons to arm slaves and start an uprising in Virginia
He tried to steal government weapons in order to arm the slaves and start a national rebellion. This made Southerners feel that the Abolitionist movement was in favour of violent insurrection, which they certainly weren't. But it caused heightened feelings on both sides, and brought war closer.
