The raid on Harper's Ferry, led by John Brown in October 1859, was an antislavery uprising. Brown aimed to seize the federal armory there and incite a slave revolt to abolish slavery in the United States. The raid ultimately failed, but it heightened tensions between the North and South and was a significant event leading up to the Civil War.
