Harper's Ferry raid marks start of Civil War episode
The 1859 Harpers Ferry raid details the gun seizure by abolitionists led by a bearded organizer who declared a mission to free slaves. Whelan and Williams guard the arsenal as the group overruns the armory, detaining the Colonel and planning a broader insurrection while the town braces for bloodshed. The episode ends with a train warning as citizens scramble to spread word ahead of dawn.
