John Brown & The Raid on Harpers Ferry

Factions in both the North and the South had reached a stalemate; the South would keep its practice of slavery and the North would mostly turn a blind eye. Abolitionist John Brown went after the abomination with such a vengeance, that it was impossible for the nation to continue ignoring an atrocity they had accepted as fact. First in Kansas and finally in Harpers Ferry, John Brown let loose a battle cry with an echo that reverberated to the launch of the Civil War.
