"Another famous treason trial was that of abolitionist John Brown. In 1859, he led a raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. He intended to raise an army and end slavery in the American South by force. Despite his noble goal, Brown's methods resulted in several deaths. As a result, he was found guilty of murder, treason, and of inciting slave insurrection and was hanged. However, he was convicted by the state of Virginia, not the federal government."
