Who was the leader of the Harper's ferry raid?

The leader of the Harper's Ferry raid was John Brown, an abolitionist who aimed to spark a slave uprising by seizing the federal armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859. Brown and his small group of followers intended to arm enslaved people and ignite a rebellion against slavery. The raid ultimately failed, leading to Brown's capture and subsequent execution, which further intensified the national debate over slavery.
