John Brown's raid on Harpers' Ferry in 1859 was a failure for a number of reasons but was one of the events that led to the American Civil War. Fred Landon relates the beginnings of the raid, from the initial planning in Chatham, Ontario in 1858 and how several Canadians of escaped slave origins played a key role in the affair.
