John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in October 1859 aimed to initiate an armed slave revolt by seizing the federal armory and arsenal located there. Brown believed that capturing the weapons would provide slaves with the means to fight for their freedom and ultimately lead to the abolition of slavery. The raid was intended to inspire other slaves to join the uprising, but it ultimately failed, leading to Brown's capture and execution, which further polarized the nation on the issue of slavery.
