John Brown's goal was to begin a slave rebellion. Harper's Ferry was a Federal arsenal and thus a source for arms for the slave rebellion.
John Brown's raid and capture of the Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia was a step towards his goal of starting a slave rebellion. The arsenal provided Brown with the weapons needed for the revolt.
He intended to take guns from the arsenal and give them to slaves so that those slaves could start a rebellion and become free.
The antislavery abolitionist John Brown and about 18 of his followers intended to start a slave rebellion. He attacked the Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. He took over the arsenal, however, he was unable to start a slave rebellion. He was captured by Union commander at the time of Robert E. Lee. Brown was hung in December of 1859 for treason against the State of Maryland. The charge was odd, in that it would have been seen as treason against the USA as the arsenal was a Federal arms depot.

Brown, along with a group of followers, hoped to incite a slave rebellion by seizing weapons from the arsenal. The raid was ultimately unsuccessful, and Brown was captured, tried, and executed.
