  • Summary

  • In 1859 an old white man and 17 of his followers led a raid on a US Armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. The stated goal of this attack was to create an uprising among the slaves of the southern states and abolish slavery once and for all. How these men expected to do that is still somewhat of a mystery and ultimately their plan would end in death and disaster. But, six years later, slavery would be eradicated throughout the entire United States and some believe that this raid was the spark that ignited the powder keg. So, grab a drink and settle in for the story of this man and his raid in this episode of Hundred Proof History titled John Brown...Task Failed Successfully!
