He did not fight for either side, though he was clearly fighting against Southern slave-owners.

His campaign was aimed at starting a widespread slave rebellion by arming the slaves with weapons stolen from the US Arsenal at Harper's Ferry.

He was captured by US troops and hanged in 1859, more than a year before the war started.
