John Brown came to the Kansas Territory to fight slavery. In May 1856 John Brown led a group that killed several proslavery settlers near Pottawatomie Creek. In August 1856, Brown and his followers engaged 400 pro-slavery U.S. soldiers in the "Battle of Osawatomie".
The abolitionist John Brown (1800-1859) was involved in the killing of five people in the Pottawatomie massacre, as a leader of an anti-slavery group in Kansas in 1856. Three years later, he was captured, tried, and executed for his attack on the armory at Harper's Ferry, West Virginia.
