John Brown and his exploits were funded by a group of wealthy individuals in New England. The group was called the Secret Six, and were ardent anti slavery abolitionists. The men were Gerrit Smith, Thomas Wentworth, Theodore Parker, George Stearns, Franklin Sanborn and Samuel Gridley Howe. All of them came from prominent families with close ties to evangelical Protestantism. They assisted in helping people such as Harriet Tubman to avoid the Fugitive Slave Act. As radical Republicans they believed in the concept of righteous violence.
Their funds helped John Brown buy the farm in Maryland under an assumed name and arms and ammunition for Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry.
