<ul><li>{{#tip-text:Harper's Ferry| Oct 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led an attack on a federal military arsenal (supplies, guns) at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, along the Potomac River north of Washington, DC. Brown and his 21followers hoped to start a slave rebellion; he was caught by US Marines, including Robert E. Lee; Brown was arrested and hung by the state of Virginia; southerners claimed that Brown's raid was a "natural, inevitable result" of Republican politics; Republicans denounced the raid, although radical abolitionists were thrilled, such as transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson who called him a "saint awaiting his martyrdom"}}</ul></li> | |||
