John Brown was executed by hanging on December 2, 1859, for his role in leading an armed insurrection against slavery in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His execution was carried out by the state of Virginia, specifically the authorities and officials involved in the legal proceedings against him. There were no individual assassins; rather, he was sentenced to death for his actions during the raid on the federal armory.
