No side.

He was an Abolitionist fanatic, not at all representative of the North as a whole.

What happened at Harpers Ferry Virginia?

Under the alias of Issac Smith, John Brown, bought a farm in Maryland. Brown, who was intensely against slavery, led an attack on the Federal arsenal in Virginia. His goal was to free the slaves in that State and perhaps start a slave rebellion. The arsenal had the weapons John Brown needed. He was captured by Federal troops and later hanged for treason against the State of Virginia. The Virginia Governor, Henry Wise, was the individual who actually charged Brown with treason. Brown became a martyr for the anti slavery movement in the North.
