Answer
John Brown was a controversial American abolitionist who believed that slavery should be abolished by force if necessary. In 1859, he led a raid on the armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, with the intention of arming slaves and sparking a rebellion. The raid was a failure, and Brown was captured and executed. Robert E. Lee and J.E.B. Stuart were both involved in the capture of Brown.
