background: On November 10, 1859, abolitionist John Brown was sentenced to death for treason, conspiracy, and murder after his raid on Harpers Ferry. In court, he delivered a defiant speech defending his actions as a moral stand against slavery. His sentencing made him a martyr for the abolitionist movement and intensified tensions leading to the Civil War.
