约翰．布朗 (John Brown) 占据哈普斯渡口
1859年10月16日
虽然这群人在夜晚突袭时占有上风，但是他们的优势并没有持续多久。隔天晚上，这群叛乱者被挡在引擎室前。第三天，罗伯特．李 (Robert
E. Lee) 上校的军队攻破他们的防线，并且将布朗逮捕。因为布朗的突袭行动，他很快就被审判，被控触犯谋杀罪，奴隶叛乱罪，以及叛国罪，而被判处绞刑。布朗在这场叛变中失去两个儿子，但是为了反对奴隶制度，他愿意牺牲任何东西，包括自己的生命。
With the nighttime surprise, the raiders had the upper hand. But that didn't last long. By the next evening, the conspirators were holed-up in an engine house. The next day Colonel Robert E. Lee's troops stormed the building and Brown was caught. For his actions, he was quickly tried and convicted of murder, slave insurrection, and treason against the state and sentenced to death by hanging. He had lost two sons in the raid. But John Brown was willing to give everything, even his life, in the fight against slavery.
