Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C. John Brown led the raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859.

Explanation:

John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was an armed attack by abolitionist John Brown and about 20 of his men against the then federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, then in Virginia, in October 1859.

The group was surrounded by an Army company under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee. Ten Brown men, including two of his sons, died in the ensuing battle, and he was wounded and forced to surrender. He was arrested and charged with treason and murder, executed on December 2, 1859, in Charles Town, Virginia.
