The raid at Harpers Ferry in 1859, led by John Brown, was ultimately unsuccessful in achieving its immediate goals. Brown aimed to incite a slave uprising and establish a stronghold for abolitionists, but his plan was thwarted by U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Although the raid failed, it heightened tensions between the North and South, contributed to the national conversation about slavery, and made Brown a martyr for the abolitionist cause, thus galvanizing support for the anti-slavery movement.
