Six prominent New England abolitionists (the "Secret Six") gave John Brown additional funds for his Raid. There is no knowledge of the members, be it a secret... however John Brown knew important people. Brown dined at Ralph Waldo Emerson's home, had tea with Henery David Thoreau, discussed theology with the abolitionist minister Theodore Dwight Weid and, even outlined his scheme to Frederick Douglass (Although Douglass a noted black abolitionist warned Brown against his "John Brown's Raid" plans, which occurred at Harper's Ferry, Virginia in 1856).
