Was John Brown From the civil war union or Confederate?
Actually, he was neither, but he fought against slavery. On October 16, 1859, he and 21 followers killed slavery supporters in the Kansas Territory. Most of the Union, except the four slave states, were against slavery as well. So if you put all the facts together, he would be considered a violent Unionist.
What event triggered the civil war between the Union and the Confederacy?
On October 16, 1859 John Brown and 21 followers arrived at Harpers Ferry. Brown had killed slavery supporters in the Kansas Territory, and then he wanted to spark a slave revolt in Virginia. Brown and his men attacked and captured the federal arsenal, where the weapons were stored. They took hostages, but no slaves came to join the revolt. United States Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee rushed to Harpers Ferry to capture John Brown, put him on trial and execute him. The South (Confederacy) were shocked by his violent acts. His raid started the tension between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). Later, many white Southerners blamed the North for Brown's acts. That is the first event that triggered the Civil War.

Why did John brown attack people at pottawatamie creek in Kansas?
At that time John Brown was a Captain of a company of Militia of Kansas State, which belonged to those organized by the "freesoilers" in opposition to those organised by pro-southerners settlers.

As he was reported that some freesoiler settlers, had been menaced and insulted by southerner pioneers, settled near the Pottawatomie Creek, Brown and his band sprang upon their house during the night, dragging and then killing five of them out of the house.
