The rabid abolitionist, John Brown, from my Civil War series of 1999-2000. Brown claimed that at age 12 he got a message from God to free the slaves. In the mid 1850's, he and several of his sons attacked and killed a number of slavery supporters in Kansas. In 1859, Brown led a small group in an attack on the Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. His aim was to steal weapons to arm slaves for a revolt. He was promptly captured and hanged.
