After leading an attack on Harpers' Ferry Arsenal in West Virginia, radical abolitionist, John Brown was wounded and quickly captured. Slave owners fearing news of John Brown's exploits would spread and incite their slaves to rebel, called for a quick and speedy trial. He was moved to Charlestown, Virginia, where he was tried and convicted of treason and sentenced to be hanged. He spoke to the court telling them that if this was how he had to go, he was proud that he had given his life to fight the injustice of slavery.
