The north did not like slavery. Well you see, the north thought it would slow down the process of industrialization. John Brown, a strong abolitionist, even led a revolt with former slaves into Harpers ferry, Virginia. He stole weapons there to supply his men and they attempted to rescue slaves at harpers ferry. The operation failed and John Brown was hanged. This act was not uncommon for a northerner. These were the kinds of acts an anti-slavery person would do. ---The point is that northerners hated slaver so much that they would risk their lives to abolish it---.
The Southern States did not trust the officials in the north , eventually leading to a distrust in federal government officials. After the raid, they were frightened and believed that the North was going to invade the South. The South also used the raid as a point to their advantage, saying that slavery can never be safe and it must be settled quickly.
The turning point was not a battle but a siege, the Siege of Vicksburg.
end of Reconstruction
The capture of the Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry was a short lived success. John Brown succeeded and from that point he and his followers tried to instill a slave rebellion in Virginia. The attempt to encourage slaves to revolt had no support from slaves or anyone associated with Brown's attempt. Ultimately, the US army recaptured the arsenal and captured Brown. The cause of the failure was Brown's ill conceived idea that slaves would rush to revolt.
