Prior to the Civil War, John Brown led a group of 18 men into Harper's Ferry in Virginia. His plan was to start a slave rebellion in the south. He mission was unsuccessful and lasted only 36 hours until John Brown and his remaining men were captured. He was hanged for treason a few months later. Brown's plan was considered "an act of a madman" by Northerners and Southerners alike. He was regarded as a hero and martyr in the North, although southerners could not comprehend why anyone would have admiration for him.
