John Brown raided Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859, in an attempt to seize weapons from the federal armory. His goal was to arm enslaved people and ignite a widespread slave revolt in the South. The raid ultimately failed, leading to his capture and subsequent execution, but it intensified the national debate over slavery.
