We went to Harpers Ferry to find out what abolitionist John Brown was thinking when he attacked the Federal Arsenal in October of 1859. He was trying to liberate an arsenal of 100,000 rifles stored here. He hoped ot incite a slave rebellion and arm the resistance. He failed and was hanged. But his act may have led to the War that followed.
