It wasn't really a battle. It was John Brown's 1859 attempt to capture US weapons and arm the slaves so that they might revolt against their masters, but it failed. Ironically, the first man killed by Brown's anti-slavery group was a free black man who worked at Harper's Ferry. He was misidentified as a soldier and shot. President Buchanan quickly sent in US Marines by train and the slave revolt was crushed before in began. John Brown was convicted and hanged.
