John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry with (Kevin Pawlak)

In this episode of the American Civil War & UK History Podcast, Daz was joined by author and historian Kevin Pawlak to discuss John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry.

John Brown's raid, which took place from October 16 to 18, 1859, was an effort by the abolitionist John Brown to initiate a slave revolt in the Southern states. The plan involved seizing the United States arsenal located at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now part of West Virginia since 1863). This event has often been described as a "dress rehearsal" for or a "tragic prelude" to the American Civil War.
