The John Brown Rebellion never really materialized. Brown and his small band raided and seized the arsenal at Harper's Ferry. The uprising that Brown hoped for did not occur. A unit of Marines led by Robert E. Lee captured Brown and his men after a violent assault, ending the raid. Brown was tried and hanged for treason as a result.
