What not true of John Browns raid?

Answer 1

John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 is often misrepresented as solely an attempt to incite a slave rebellion. While it aimed to arm enslaved people and provoke a revolt, Brown's larger goal was to establish a stronghold for abolitionists. Additionally, it is not true that the raid was well-planned; it was hastily executed and lacked adequate support. Finally, contrary to some beliefs, Brown did not succeed in capturing the armory for long, as he was quickly surrounded and captured by U.S. Marines.
