Why did john brown raid happen in 1859?
It convinced the South that the Abolitionists favoured violent revolution, and they began to prepare for armed resistance.//// One other aspect of the Raid and particularly its' aftermath I find interesting is this; John Brown was tried,convicted,and executed for TREASON against the STATE of VIRGINIA. Treason against a State, not against the United States(Federal Government). I think that is interesting from a legal(Constitutional)perspective. What say you?!

Which state is Harper's Ferry in and why?
Harpers Ferry is in West Virginia. It was part of Virginia until the American Civil War and was notable for John Brown's raid - which was an act of treason against the United States but he was only tried for treason in Virginia - and for playing a key role in both of Lee's invasions of the North. When West Virginia was carved from the State of Virginia and accepted into the Union as a separate State during Abraham Lincoln's tenure as President it ceased being part of Virginia.
