Dred Scott was an enslaved African American from Missouri, a slave state. Then Scott's owner died. Scott went to court claiming he was a free man because he had lived in a free state. His case raised ALOT of questions. The supreme court decided Scott had no rights. Many Americans were outraged. John Brown had led an attack on pro-slavery people in Kansas. He made plans to attack slave owners in Virgina. To carry out his plan, Brown needed weapons. He planned to steal them for the army's arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virgina (now west virgina) An arsenal is a place where weapons are stored. On October 16 brown and 21 other men, black and white, started their raid. But Federal and state soldiers stopped them, killing some of the raideres. Brown was taking to prison and then hung. But his actions showed that the struggle over slavery was growing. Compromise was becoming harder.
It increased tensiond between the north and south.
For the most part most Americans, both North and South, saw the Brown slave revolution as being radical and dangerous. Brown was a martyr to radical abolitionists, but for most Americans, Brown's violence was madness.
The North, with its factories and large cities, had less use for slave labor. Economic differences between the North and South, and the South's insistence on maintaining slavery, eventually led to war.~Emily
NO. They are in an open state of war with only an armistice keeping them from fighting again. The border between North and South Korea is the most militarized border in the world.

The North had a mixed reaction to John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. Some abolitionists viewed him as a martyr for the anti-slavery cause, praising his bravery and commitment to ending slavery. However, many Northerners were alarmed by the violence of the raid and feared it could incite a larger conflict between North and South. Overall, Brown's actions intensified the sectional divide and heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.
the southern states seceded because they felt threatened by the actions of john brown and worried that " john brown the 2nd " might attack the norths response was they mourned at john brown's death.
After being declared official ambassador of Rock & Roll, James Brown's wailing vocal attack on Harpers Ferry was greeted with jubalation in both North and South. John Brown's attack and its effect on the tension between North and South is another story.
When John Brown led the attack on Harpers Ferry (which failed completely) it caused further division of the US between the North and the South. When John Brown was put on trial, he was sentenced to be hung. While the South thought this was a just punishment for his actions, the North felt John didn't deserve to die because he was only trying to help the abolitionist's cause.
John Brown was very strongly anti-slavery in his beliefs. His raid on Harper's Ferry helped to push the North and South further apart because of differences in their view of his actions.
No side. He was an Abolitionist fanatic, not at all representative of the North as a whole. His actions led the South to believe that the North was in favour of an armed rebellion of slaves, and that war was inevitable.
