The raid on Harper's Ferry was an intent by John Brown, who was an abolitionist, to initiate a slave revolt in 1859 by taking control on the federal arsenal located in Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
The two groups that were outside the arsenal were:
- <em>John Brown's "group of 22"</em>. This group of men was supposed to be supported abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. However, none of them showed up in the scene, as Tubman fell ill and Douglass was doubtful of a victory.
- <em>A group of US Marines</em> led by Colonel Robert E. Lee.
The attempt was unsuccessful, resulting in the defeat of Brown's group by the US Marines.
The abolitionists had both theoretical and practical influence on the antislavery attitudes in the North. Their practical influence was seen in organized actions for freeing slaves and helping them escape to Canada. Quakers were often involved in these actions and were willing to risk their lives. The theoretical influence of abolitionists was immense. For example, <span>Harriet Beecher Stowe, who wrote the famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin", profoundly influenced the popular thinking about slavery, not only in America, but throughout the world.</span>
