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.

Hope its right.
Hope I helped too.
Norman Borlaug also known as the "father of the Green Revolution".
As an American engineer he is one of the key contributors to the revolution in agronomy. He was aided by international organizations to tackle low productivity levels in underdeveloped countries such as Mexico. There was a rupture to the traditional methods of harvesting that caused great numbers of starvation caused by famines.
The Green Revolution included developing high yielding types of cereal grains, modernization of irrigation infrastructure, expansion and improved of management techniques. There were also important changes concerning the distribution of hybridized seeds, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides to regional and local farmers.
