JOHN BROWN 1861 KANSAS NICKEL SILVER MEDAL
John Brown was a radical abolitionist and religious zealot. He is perhaps best known for his raid on the federal armory at Harper's Ferry, VA (now West VA). He and a small band of followers seized the armory with the intent of arming slaves and starting an insurrection in the South.The armory was quickly re-taken by the Marines, commanded by then US Colonel Robert E. Lee. Brown was tried, convicted and hanged for inciting servile insurrection and treason against the State of Virginia.The news about the raid on Harper's Ferry electrified the North and South alike. While some saw Brown (both in his time and today) as nothing more than a home-grown terrorist, many believed he was a martyr for the cause who played a major role in galvanizing the country towards an inevitable war.
