He did not attack the army and it wasn't during the civil war. He attacked the local authorities of the town Harpers Ferry, VA before the civil war so he could steal guns from the federal arsenal there. He would use the guns to arm a slave revolt because he believed god made it his duty to do so. The army then attacked him, before he could leave the arsenal building and he was later hung for treason
