John Brown sought revenge after the Sack of Lawrence

Brown was furious due to the fact that the people of Lawrence had chosen not to fight

Brown was not a pacifist leader and fought to send a message. He told his followers after the sack of Lawrence that they must “Fight fire with fire” and that the pro-slavery activists will be fearing them 

Three days after the Lawrence affair (May 24), Brown and 7 other people set out at night for vengeance.

They were armed with different types of weapons like guns, knives, etc.

Pottawatomie Creek, a pro-slavery town, was where Brown and his men attacked

Brown’s group caught innocent civilians and hacked at their heads with weapons, even murdering two sons of a pro-slavery activist

Sack of Lawrence was on May 21st while the massacre was on the 24th
