The most important factor in John Brown's decision to launch the raid at Harpers Ferry was that Harpers Ferry was a hub of trains and canals, which provided escape routes. This strategic location was crucial for Brown's plan to instigate a slave uprising and facilitate the movement of freed slaves and abolitionists. The other options, while relevant, do not capture the strategic significance of the town in terms of transportation and support for his overall goals.
