Brown's Harpers Ferry Raid Triggered Civil War Echoes
Fifty years after the raid, John Brown and his 22 men seized the Harpers Ferry armory and two bridges, sparking street fighting, hostages, and a siege. Marines led by Robert E. Lee stormed the fortress after a day of heavy casualties, ending with Brown captured and his plan to incite a slave insurrection viewed as a major spark for the Civil War.
