John Brown Rebellion John Brown's goal was to lead a slave rebellion in the South. He led a band of 18, who attacked Harper's Ferry, Virginia. On the 16th of October, he seized the Federal armory there, and held local citizens hostage. After a two day fight, US Marines, led by captain Robert E Lee, captured Brown.
John Brown was one of the most famous abolitionists, or opponents of slavery, in history. He traveled widely to gather support and money for his cause. Many people who helped him were either unaware or did not care that he often used violence to achieve his goals.
