Description:
Abolitionist John Brown leads a small group on a raid against a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in an attempt to start an armed slave revolt and destroy slavery. This was significant to sectionalism because the government had a tolerance for slavery, so he tried to protest. This was one event that led up to the Civil War.Ajouté au bande de temps:
