harpers ferry was a raid that many people died in.
John Browns intent was to start a revolt by slaves, with the slaves killing their masters. This outraged many Southerners, and widened the division between North and South.
The raid on Harpers Ferry, led by John Brown in 1859, angered both pro-slavery Southerners and many Northerners. Southerners viewed it as a direct threat to their way of life and an act of terrorism aimed at inciting a slave rebellion. Many Northerners were concerned about the potential for escalating violence and the growing divide between North and South, fearing it would exacerbate tensions leading up to the Civil War.
That depends on what you mean. If you mean the raid on Harpers Ferry led by John Brown in an effort to begin a slave revolt, then many were afraid of a slave revolt and angry with Northerner abolitionists, but at the same time they felt vindicated in their claims that the slaves were content. If you mean the battle of Harpers Ferry, the confederates were happy because it was a large victory with comparatively little cost. They got lots of weaponry, food, and other supplies (like fresh uniforms, even though they were Union uniforms). They were happy.
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.

In response to the Harpers Ferry Raid in 1859, many Southern states heightened their vigilance against potential slave uprisings and perceived threats from abolitionists. They increased militia activity, fortified defenses, and enacted stricter slave codes to maintain control over enslaved populations. This event further polarized the nation and contributed to the growing tensions that eventually led to the Civil War. Additionally, Southern leaders used the raid to justify their secessionist sentiments and the need for stronger protections of their institutions.
