Muslims raided towns in southern Europe primarily during the early Middle Ages for a combination of territorial expansion, economic gain, and the spread of Islam. These raids were often motivated by the desire to acquire resources, wealth, and slaves, as well as to establish and consolidate power in newly conquered regions. The raids also served as a means of spreading Islamic influence and countering the Christian kingdoms of Europe. Additionally, the weakening of local defenses and political fragmentation in southern Europe made these regions vulnerable to incursions.

In response to the Harpers Ferry Raid in 1859, many Southern states heightened their fears of a potential slave revolt and increased their efforts to strengthen slave patrols and security measures. They viewed the raid as a direct threat from abolitionists and a sign of rising tensions between the North and South. This event contributed to the growing sectional divide, leading Southern states to adopt more aggressive stances on slavery and further solidifying their commitment to preserving the institution. The raid ultimately intensified the climate of distrust and hostility, paving the way for the Civil War.
