Brown, who was intensely against slavery, led an attack on the Federal arsenal in Virginia. His goal was â¦ to free the slaves in that State and perhaps start a slave rebellion. The arsenal had the weapons John Brown needed. He was captured by Federal troops and later hanged for treason against the State of Virginia. The Virginia Governor, Henry Wise, was the individual who actually charged Brown with treason.
Brown was hanged at Charles Town on December 2, 1859, with four of his men, after handing a note to his jailer on his way to the gallows: I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land: will never be purged away; but with Blood.. The note predicted what was to come in the near future.
