The correct response is: Some northerners viewed Brown as a martyr, while southerners prepared for war.
John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859 was met with mixed reactions. In the North, many abolitionists and antislavery advocates saw him as a martyr for the cause of ending slavery, while in the South, his actions heightened fears of slave insurrections and led to increased tensions, as many southerners prepared for a potential conflict.
