John Brown responded to pro-slavery attacks with armed resistance and a commitment to abolishing slavery through violent means. He believed that direct action was necessary to confront the injustices of slavery, which culminated in his raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, where he aimed to incite a slave uprising. Brown's militant approach and fervent abolitionist beliefs made him a polarizing figure, seen as a martyr by some and a terrorist by others. His actions highlighted the deep divisions in the United States over slavery leading up to the Civil War.
