The South thought it showed that all Abolitionists were violent revolutionaries. The Abolitionists (only a small minority of Northerners) thought it made Brown a hero-martyr. Other Northerners deplored the raid, as they felt it was drawing the country into war. With that said, Abraham Lincoln called Brown's raid absurd.
Many Southerners viewed John Brown as a dangerous abolitionist who threatened their way of life and were relieved by his execution. They saw him as a martyr for the abolitionist cause and feared similar uprisings. Some Southerners called for increased security measures to prevent future incidents.

The United States was already deeply divided over pro and anti slavery ideologies. John Brown's militant stance and failed effort to steal weapons and mount a slave insurrection, while glorified by such a champion of civil unrest as Henry David Thoreau, who believed Brown's execution would elicit a rallying cry from all abolitionists, some well known abolitionist leaders like William Lloyd Garrison decried the action as the work of a misguided lunatic. However, almost universally in the south, the belief was that all northerners agreed with Brown's actions and were actively plotting their demise.
