In John Brown's raid 21 men followed John Brown with his raid to fight
against slavery. Three of them were his sons and five of the 21 men were
blacks. The militias from surrounding counties and towns came to fight
in Harpers Ferry. 58 people were murdered by slaves. After some time of
fighting Brown sent a man with a white truce flag, but the man was captured
and then the people who were against John Brown shot the man and threw
him into one of the rivers. Later John Brown sent out two more men, one
of which was his son, and they were immediately shot. Brown had been waiting
for his attack supplies and they never showed up. He had waited too long
to take action therefore he had been defeated.
