Best Answer

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.
