Information from the Internet:
John Brown was a man of action -- a man who would not be deterred from his mission of abolishing slavery. On October 16, 1859, he led 21
men on a raid of the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. His plan to arm slaves with the weapons
he and his men seized from the arsenal was thwarted, however, by local farmers, militiamen, and Marines
led by Robert E. Lee. Within 36 hours of the attack, most of Brown’s men had been killed or captured.
During his first fifty years, Brown moved about the country, settling in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and New York, and taking along his ever-growing family. (He would father twenty children.) Working at various times as a farmer, wool merchant,
tanner, and land speculator, he never was finacially successful -- he even filed for bankruptcy when in his forties. His lack of funds, however, did not keep him from supporting
causes he believed in. He helped finance the publication of David Walker’s Appeal and Henry Highland’s "Call to Rebellion" speech. He gave land to fugitive slaves. He and his wife agreed to raise a black youth as

of Gileadites, an organization that worked to protect escaped slaves from slave catchers.
Brown, knowing that many of the families were finding life in this isolated area difficult, offered to establish his
own farm there as well, in order to lead the blacks by his example and to act as a "kind father to them."
Brown was wounded and quickly captured, and moved to Charlestown, Virginia, where he was tried and
convicted of treason, Before hearing his sentence, Brown was allowed make an address to the court.
“I believe to have interfered as I have done, . . . in behalf of His despised poor, was not wrong, but right.
Now, if it be deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and
mingle my blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave country
whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit: so let it be done."
Henry David said in an address to the citizens of Concord, Massachusetts. "No man in America has ever
stood up so persistently and effectively for the dignity of human nature. . . ."
John Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859.
