The North had a mixed reaction to John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. Some abolitionists viewed him as a martyr for the anti-slavery cause, praising his bravery and commitment to ending slavery. However, many Northerners were alarmed by the violence of the raid and feared it could incite a larger conflict between North and South. Overall, Brown's actions intensified the sectional divide and heightened tensions leading up to the Civil War.
