John Brown's goal during the raid at Harpers Ferry was to initiate a large-scale slave uprising in the South by seizing the federal armory and arsenal there. He aimed to arm enslaved people and rally them to revolt against their oppressors, ultimately seeking to end slavery in the United States. Brown believed that violent action was necessary to achieve this goal, viewing himself as a martyr for the abolitionist cause. His raid, however, was unsuccessful and led to his capture, trial, and execution.
