Question

What was the outcome of the raid? in the John brown Harpers ferry raid in three sentences

Answer 1

The outcome of John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry in October 1859 was a failure for his abolitionist cause. Brown and his followers were quickly overwhelmed by local militias and U.S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee, resulting in the capture of Brown and most of his men. He was subsequently tried and executed for treason, which galvanized abolitionist sentiment in the North and deepened the divide between the North and South.
