The abolitionist captured at Harper's Ferry was John Brown. Brown was a fierce abolitionist; apart from Harper's Ferry, Brown also led raids in what is now Kansas as part of the Bleeding Kansas episode in American history where pro- and anti-slavery forces burnt towns and killed one another in an effort to claim the states as free or slave.
