Radical antislavery abolitionist, John Brown, believed he could start a slave revolt against slave owners. He and his friends decided to capture the Federal Armory at Harper's Ferry, VA. and use the weapons to distribute to slaves so they could stage a revolt under Brown's leadership. The plan after capturing the arms depot was to send his friends out in the fields & recruit slaves into a rebellion.
John Brown was hoping to end slavery immediately. He used such brute force because he felt that force was the only way to actually stop the institution of slavery. John Brown had unrealistic hopes for a slave revolt. The attempted revolt of slaves failed. No slaves took up the offer to have a revolt.

The anti slavery abolitionists were a radical group that had labored long and hard for the end of slavery in the United States. One such radical was John Brown. Brown was sure he could create a slave uprising in Virginia. He tried to recruit Afro American scholar Frederick Douglas into the scheme without success. Brown's plan was to capture the Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry and he and his 22 recruits would scatter about the slave plantations and urge them to join a revolt. Brown had indeed captured the arsenal and its weapons, however, no slave insurrection ensued and Brown was captured and later executed.
The radical anti slavery abolitionist, John Brown, conceived and enacted the raid and take over of the Federal Armory at Harper's Ferry. His plan to start a slave revolt failed however and Brown and his followers were captured by then Union officer, Robert E. Lee.
He was arrested by people because slaves accuse him because they were in on the plan. They told their owner so they were arrested.
Denmark Vesey was inspired by the ideals of freedom and equality, as well as witnessing the oppression of slaves in South Carolina. He also drew inspiration from the successful Haitian Revolution and believed that slaves had a right to fight for their own liberation. These factors motivated him to plan a large-scale slave revolt in Charleston in 1822.

No. The Chesapeake Insurrection of 1730 was not a slave revolt. Slave revolts were very uncommon as it was not easy to put together such a plan considering the conditions in which they lived.
