What were the results of john brown's raid?

Answer 1

The raid headed by John Brown on the Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry in Virginia was ended by Colonel Robert E. Lee's force of US Marines. Brown's idea was to gain arms and then rally slaves to revolt for their freedom. It was an attempt by a small band of men to begin the end of slavery in the USA. No slaves rallied to Brown's cause. Brown was convicted of treason and hung in 1859. The armed attempt by Brown, however made him a martyr for radical anti slavery abolitionists in the North. In matters such as the movement to end slavery, acts as those performed by Brown, served as a lightning rod to rally as much Northern support as it could.

Answer 2

Southerners identified Abolitionism with violent revolution, and were less willing to talk compromise with the North.
