John Brown was considered an abolitionist hero of the first magnitude and a treasonous rebel by the federal govt.
Slaves typically do not rebel because their masters have access to weapons and the slaves do not.
Brigadier General G. K. Warren was familiar with the area of the Potomac River where General Lee would ford to raid Pennsylvania. He advised the then commander of the Army of the Potomac, General Joseph Hooker, to immediately move troops to insure Harpers Ferry was secure. By doing this, Warren believed this not only keep the army well supplied but from Harpers Ferry, the Union army could cut off Lee's supply line by attacking Rebel troops who still had not crossed the Potomac River.

After leading an attack on Harpers' Ferry Arsenal in West Virginia, radical abolitionist, John Brown was wounded and quickly captured. Slave owners fearing news of John Brown's exploits would spread and incite their slaves to rebel, called for a quick and speedy trial. He was moved to Charlestown, Virginia, where he was tried and convicted of treason and sentenced to be hanged. He spoke to the court telling them that if this was how he had to go, he was proud that he had given his life to fight the injustice of slavery.
