"John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry" by Jason Glaser recounts the dramatic events of October 1859 when abolitionist John Brown led a daring raid on the federal armory in Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Aiming to ignite a widespread slave rebellion, Brown and his small band of followers seized weapons and took hostages. The raid quickly spiraled into chaos, drawing the attention of local militia and U.S. troops, including Colonel Robert E. Lee. Ultimately, Brown's plan failed, leading to his capture and execution. The raid heightened tensions between North and South, laying the groundwork for the Civil War and igniting fierce debates over slavery. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
