The plan to begin a slave rebellion was flawed in that the center of the rebellion, Harpers Ferry, was located in the northwest part of Virginia. There were few slaves in that area of Virginia, and John Brown's group of ardent abolitionists only carried with them one day's rations. In addition, he left at his Maryland farm an extensive paper trail of his plans and where he was headed.
The John Brown attempt to start a slave rebellion was an ill conceived plot that failed in totality. The end result was the execution of John Brown. The idea that Brown had regarding a slave rebellion was without merit. He and his followers believed that they could end slavery by taking control of the Harper's Ferry arsenal and recruiting slaves to his cause of a slave rebellion. There was at that time no thoughts among US leaders of trying to start a slave rebellion.
A slave rebellion is when slaves organize an attack against their masters. They often spoke in coded messages or in their native languages to keep their masters unaware of their plan. The only successful major rebellion was in Haiti under the leadership of Toussant L'Overture, who was born into slavery and after the rebellion became the leader of Haiti.

John Brown wanted to steal an arsenal at Harper's ferry. Then he would give the weapons to the slaves for a slave rebellion against their slave owners.
