He had also helped create a society in Canada for free slaves that even had its own constitution but never really was able to get its footing (Chicago). ]]> 2017-12-06 19:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/1414211/19lpavns6lv8/wish/213870853 Reasons for The Raid's Failure 1414211 https://padlet.com/1414211/19lpavns6lv8/wish/213881582 Although Brown's intentions were good the raid was almost destined for failure from the very start. Firstly he only had 18 men which was a tiny number compared to the number of town militia and eventually the marines he would have to fight off. The main reason for the failure was that the whole purpose of this was to try to recruit slaves from the area to join in and lead the way for the revolt. Brown also was very poor at combat strategy and was not able to plan well for when the company of Marines led by Robert E. Lee Stormed into the engine room where they had tried to barricade themselves in. There were even some people accused of being involved in it who may or may not have been (Chicago). ]]> 2017-12-06 19:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/1414211/19lpavns6lv8/wish/213881582 John Brown's Legacy 1414211 https://padlet.com/1414211/19lpavns6lv8/wish/214373098 John Brown was widely considered to be a hero with northern abolitionists. Some even marched to a song dedicated to him by the name of "John Brown's Body" (Carson). On the  other hand the South tried to accuse all of the Northerners of being part of Brown's crime but in truth was only backed by a small group of abolitionists who were supporters of Brown.

He was one of the reasons that the Civil War started at the time it did.
