Frederick Douglass believed that John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 would galvanize the abolitionist movement and potentially incite a larger uprising against slavery. He saw it as a courageous, albeit risky, act that could inspire enslaved people to resist their oppressors. However, Douglass also recognized the potential for violent backlash and increased repression from pro-slavery forces, which could hinder the progress toward abolition. Ultimately, he viewed the raid as a pivotal moment that would highlight the urgency of the fight against slavery.
