Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Correct History of the John Brown Invasion: At Harper´s Ferry, West Va;, Oct; 17, 1859 The first overt act that led to the Civil War was the midnight raid at Harper´s Ferry, Virginia, made by John Brown and his command on the Seventeenth day of October, 1859. This was the signal gun of the great war that began in less than two years afterwards. Brown attempted to start an armed invasion of Virginia, for the purpose of setting the slaves free and confiscating the property of their owners, proved a failure, on account of the sickness of the officials of the State in defending her soil and the slowness of the friends of John Brown in furnishing him the material and financial aid which they had promised. Brown and his followers were captured by the military, tried in the courts of the State, convicted and executed in due course of law. The United States Government sent its marines to Harper´s Ferry to protect the property of the Government, but as soon as Brown and his men were captured, they were turned over to Virginia for trial, as they had made the raid upon her territory. Such was the regard, at that time, for State´s Eights, that the general government would not supercede the authority of the State or even send its troops over its boundary line without first obtaining permission from the Governor of the State.
