Harriet Tubman had become a legendary force in rescuing slaves from the South. She became very active in the late 1850's in helping slaves to escape into her Underground Railroad. She herself was a former slave who had escaped bondage. She faced personal danger in continuing her trips to the South and helping slaves to escape.

John Brown was one of the most historic abolitionist to live for his actions of raiding Harper's Ferry in hopes of slaves rebelling against their master.

I'm not really sure, but isn't it Harriet Tubman? Harriet Tubman was one of many.

The North was not uniform in its reaction to Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and his punishment for it. The most vocal of those who did speak out in speeches and editorials, however, tended to favor his actions.

Such fiery rhetoric convinced southerners, already paranoid, that all northerners were set to free all their slaves at the first opportunity.
