John Brown returned to Kansas in the winter of 1858-59 and led a raid to liberate a group of Missouri slaves. Brownâs return to the territory proved temporary. With the support of Eastern backers known as the Secret Six, Brown used his credentials as âCaptainâ Brown, of Kansas fame, to raise money for the attack on Harpers Ferry. Despite the failure of the raid, Brownâs subsequent martyrdom fixed him in the public mind as the archetypal figure of Bleeding Kansas.
