The South reacted strongly to John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry in 1859. They viewed it as an act of rebellion against the institution of slavery and an attack on their way of life. Many in the South were enraged by Brown's actions and saw him as a dangerous radical, leading to increased tensions between the North and the South prior to the outbreak of the Civil War.
