John Brown Rebellion John Brown's goal was to lead a slave rebellion in the South. He led a band of 18, who attacked Harper's Ferry, Virginia. On the 16th of October, he seized the Federal armory there, and held local citizens hostage. After a two day fight, US Marines, led by captain Robert E Lee, captured Brown.
John Brown declared bankruptcy at age 42 and had more than 20 lawsuits filed against him. In 1855, after assisting the escape of several slaves, Brown and his five sons moved to Kansas just after that territory had been opened for the possible expansion of slavery by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
