Why did a group of abolitionists attack Harpers Ferry Virginia in 1859?

The anti slavery abolitionists were a radical group that had labored long and hard for the end of slavery in the United States. One such radical was John Brown. Brown was sure he could create a slave uprising in Virginia. He tried to recruit Afro American scholar Frederick Douglas into the scheme without success. Brown's plan was to capture the Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry and he and his 22 recruits would scatter about the slave plantations and urge them to join a revolt. Brown had indeed captured the arsenal and its weapons, however, no slave insurrection ensued and Brown was captured and later executed.


One of the largest slave revolts in American history happened in Louisiana in 1811 how did the revolt leaders organize the slaves?

The leaders of the 1811 Louisiana slave revolt organized the enslaved individuals through a network of communication and shared grievances about their harsh conditions. They utilized secret meetings and messages to rally support among plantations in the region, leveraging existing social ties and communal bonds. Additionally, they may have taken advantage of the local geography to plan coordinated actions and uprisings, demonstrating a level of strategic organization that aimed for a collective uprising against their oppressors. Despite their efforts, the revolt was ultimately suppressed, but it remains a significant moment in the history of resistance against slavery in the United States.
