Biographical History

John Brown (May 9, 1800, Torrington, Connecticut – December 2, 1859, Charles Town, Virginia) was born in Connecticut in 1800 before migrating with his family at an early age to the Connecticut Western Reserve. He failed at several business ventures and land speculations before devoting his life to the abolition of slavery. Brown was executed in 1859 following his failed attempt to incite a slave rebellion at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. Edwin Coppoc, a native of Salem, Ohio, joined Brown in his raid.
