A-Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas condemned the violence

B-more and more Southerners saw leaving the Union as their only

D-abolitionists viewed Brown as a martyr and rang church bells

after his execution

Step-by-step explanation:

John Brown and his men raided Harper Ferry in 1859 in an attempt to seize some federal armory with which they intended to fight for the abolition of slavery in the South of USA. This raid was a precursor to the Civil War. But it was a failed attempt. With this failed attempt in which many people lost their lives, John Brown was arrested, condemned to death, and executed. Fortunately, six years after this unfortunate but brave incident involuntary slavery was officially and legally abolished by President Abraham Lincoln with the January 1, 1865 Emancipation Proclamation.
