John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry in October 1859 aimed to initiate a slave uprising by seizing the federal armory. The raid ultimately failed; Brown and his followers were captured by U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee. Brown was tried for treason, convicted, and executed, which heightened tensions between the North and South and contributed to the growing divide that led to the Civil War. His actions made him a martyr for the abolitionist cause, intensifying the national debate over slavery.
