Question

Where in Virginia was John Brown captured while attacking a federal fort?

Answer 1

Harper's Ferry Virginia

Explanation:

Actually it was a federal armory not a fort. John Brown not only attacked the armory he and his followers successfully captured the armory and its 15,000 modern rifles

John Brown's plan was to start a slave insurrection and use the rifles stored in the armory to arm the slaves. Few slaves joined his forces that were besieged in the armory by Federal forces under Robert E. Lee.

John Brown and his followers surrendered after some fighting. John Brown was hung for his efforts to start an insurrection, and become a folk hero of the abolitionist movement.
