He attacked the Federal weapons arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia with his team which included 16 white men, 3 black men, and one freed slave and one fugitive slave. Initially, he was successful but his men were surrounded by militia and local townspeople and militia, his men were killed and those who were still alive were taken to John Brown's Fort. He was hanged on 2nd December and became a martyr for abolitionists. The southerners views it as a plot to start slave rebellion in the south.
