Spartacus. Also, John Brown. His 1859 raid on the US Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia was planned to spark a slave revolt. Brown was expecting to be able to use the contents of the Armory to arm a slave revolt in Virginia. He was an ardent abolitionist, and firmly believed that the only real method of overturning that "despised institution" in Virginia (and, eventually, the entire South) was via an armed insurrection.
