16 окт 1859 г. - John Brown’s Raid at Harper’s Ferry
Описание:
John Brown, an abolitionist, led a small group of men in an attempt to seize the federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia, with the goal of starting an armed slave revolt by distributing the captured weapons to enslaved people in the area. The raid increased tensions between the North and South, increased fear in the South, and further radicalized both sides, giving rise to the Civil War.Добавлено на ленту времени:
