The southern states thought the Harper's Ferry Raid was typical abolitionist behavior - trying to stir-up violent revolution. The southerners saw the event as a threat to stability and peace, and an indicator that the slavery issue would never be resolved, except through combat. The Harper's Ferry Raid offered secessionists an argument which was used to hasten secession - that the raid served as an example of abuse towards the south and warned of the danger of black insurrection. The South also reorganized the militia system, making the South better prepared for war.
