John Brown attacked the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859. His plan was to seize weapons and ammunition to arm enslaved people in a revolt against slavery. Brown aimed to establish a stronghold in the Appalachian Mountains and inspire a widespread insurrection across the South. However, the raid ultimately failed, leading to his capture and execution.
