John Brown was an American abolitionist who believed in using armed resistance to end slavery in the United States. He is best known for his raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, where he attempted to seize a federal armory to arm enslaved people for a rebellion. Brown's actions and subsequent execution heightened tensions between the North and South, contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War. He is often viewed as a martyr for the abolitionist cause.
