<span>A slave revolt resulted in "Haiti" gaining independence from France, since the slaves were well outfitted with arms and were able to overpower the French forces. </span>
Which war is this about? I can help answer if given this information.
The raid took place on October 16, 1859 before the war. Brown was a man determined to abolish slavery, a belief of many northerners. This Revolt was led by an abolitionist, or a person against slavery. The raid indicated that abolitionists would use violence to overthrow slavery. Slavery was a big issue during this time and was a huge reason for the sectionalism between the North and South.
