John Brown was his name.
A group called the Secret Six financed John Brown and many of his "abolitionist campains". Two of the members were Julia Ward Howe and her husband, just to let those who think "The Battle of the Hymn of the Republic" a glorius song. All 7 were evil.
The South reacted strongly to John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry in 1859. They viewed it as an act of rebellion against the institution of slavery and an attack on their way of life. Many in the South were enraged by Brown's actions and saw him as a dangerous radical, leading to increased tensions between the North and the South prior to the outbreak of the Civil War.

The objective was to steal enough weapons to arm slaves and start an uprising in Virginia
The aborted attempt to use violence to begin a slave revolt in the South actually set the abolitionist movement back, instead of aiding the fight to end slavery. Most Americans were repulsed at the tactic of John Brown to capture a Federal arsenal, and try to incite a revolution. Most Americans were against this sort of bloody tactic.

The raid on the Harpers Ferry Federal arsenal was a failure because Brown had a serious misconception about the best way to abolish slavery in the US. His plan was ill conceived and he had no evidence at all that slaves were anywhere near a rebellion. Brown found himself at odds with the US Army and that was a huge error.

He was not able to spark the popular uprising that he had hoped. He and his followers, mostly sons and sons-in-law, were left to fight the federal forces by themselves when no one joined them.
Harper's Ferry was was a hub of trains and canals, which provided escape routes. By all accounts, the location chosen by John Brown to start a slave revolt, was a poor one. There were very few slaves in the area of Harper's Ferry.
The first match shown was a friendly between Arsenal and Arsenal Reserves at Highbury, on 16th September 1937.
