John Brown has affected the Civil War even after he has died. He was instrumental in heightening sectional animosities that led to the American Civil War.His raid made him a martyr to northern abolitionists and increased the sectional animosities that led to the American Civil War.French novelist Victor Hugo wrote that Brown’s hanging would “open a latent fissure that will finally split the Union asunder.” As they marched into battle during the Civil War, Union soldiers sang a song called “John Brown’s Body” that would later provide the tune for the “Battle Hymn of the Republic”

In 1855 Brown and his 5 sons went to Kansas to support the struggling anti-slavery movement.Brooding over the sack of the town of Lawrence by a mob of slavery sympathizers (May 21, 1856), Brown concluded that he had a divine mission to take vengeance. Three days later he and his sons went to a proslavery settlement at Pottawatomie Creek and dragged out five men and hacked them apart. Later , Brown settled in Osawatomie and soon became the leader of antislavery guerrillas in the area.

Although Brown failed to spark a general slave revolt, the high moral tone of his defense helped to immortalize him and to hasten the war that would bring emancipation. Noting that the gaze of Europe was fixed on America, French novelist Victor Hugo wrote that Brown’s hanging would “open a latent fissure that will finally split the Union asunder.” As they marched into battle during the Civil War, Union soldiers sang a song called “John Brown’s Body".

As the family grew , Dianthe, showed signs of mental instability and suffered increasing ill health . Three days after the birth of her 7th child in August 1832, Dianthe Lusk Brown died. "Dianthe my sister....was plain, but attracted John Brown by her quiet, amiable disposition. She was my guiding- star, my guardian angel; she sung so beautifully, most always sacred hymns and tunes; and she had a place in the woods, not far from the house where she used to go alone to pray. She took me there sometimes to pray with me. She was a pleasant, cheerful person, but not funny; she never said anything but what she meant ." - Milton Lusk, 1882 (Sanborn, Life and Letters of John Brown)

She obviously supported Brown's political views for she once asked, "Does it seem as freedom were to gain or lose this? I have had thirteen children, and only 4 are left; but if I am to see the ruin of my house, I cannot but hope that Providence may bring out of it some benefit to the poor slaves."
