When John Brown captured the armory at Harpers Ferry in 1859, his plan to incite a slave uprising failed due to a lack of support from local slaves and the surrounding community. The U.S. Marines, led by Robert E. Lee, quickly responded to the situation, surrounding Brown and his men. The ensuing battle resulted in the deaths of several of Brown's followers, and he was ultimately captured, tried, and executed, which further inflamed tensions between the North and South. Brown’s raid highlighted the deep divides in the nation over slavery and contributed to the mounting conflict leading to the Civil War.
