After leading retaliatory strikes against proslavery mobs in Kansas in 1856, he began making plans for the 1859 raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Brown intended to commandeer firearms and initiate a slave rebellion. The plan failed, and Brown was captured, tried, and hanged. His insurrection found favor among many Northerners sympathetic to his cause. In the South, however, Brown\u00e2\u0080\u0099s actions signaled that slaveholding states must either face diminished power against an increasingly abolitionist North or sever ties with the United States."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "This portrait of a fiery Brown cloaked in a U.S. Army blanket is an imaginative interpretation of an engraving published in Frank Leslie\u00e2\u0080\u0099s Illustrated Newspaper in 1859.
