Answer:

The correct answer is D. Harper's Ferry, Virginia, was significant in the antebellum era because it was the site of a failed slave rebellion in October of 1859.

Explanation:

On October 16, 1859, the radical abolitionist John Brown led an attack on the Harper's Ferry arsenal: he hoped to seize weapons to use it to arm slaves in the south and thus unleash an uprising. Marines under Col. Robert E. Lee's command helped the local militia to overpower Brown and his men. Brown was tried by the state of Virginia for treason, sentenced to death and hanged in nearby Charles Town.

“We desire you will hear and receive what we have now told you, and that you will open a good ear and listen to what we are now
sammy [17]
The American colonists were eager to keep the Native American nations out of the mix when it came to the war with the British.  The Native Americans could have looked at this as an opportunity to cause trouble for the white colonists and take advantage of the situation.  Or the colonists could have looked at the Native American nations as potential allies and made promises to them if they assisted in the war effort.  But the colonists appealed to native nations with a message of friendship -- not asking them to join in war against Britain, but also that they not act against the colonists' cause.  

The quoted speech, by the way, was addressed to these Native American nations:  <span>Mohawks, Oneidas, Tusscaroras, Onondagas, Cayugas, and Senekas.</span>
