16 out 1859 ano - John Brown's Raid on Harper's Ferry

Descrição:

John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry occurred in October 1859 when abolitionist John Brown led a small group in an attempt to seize the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, hoping to incite a slave uprising. The raid ultimately failed, as Brown was captured, tried for treason against the state of Virginia, and hanged, but it significantly heightened tensions between the North and South and foreshadowed the impending Civil War.
