Henry David Thoreau wrote
Henry David Thoreau wrote "A Plea For" this "Captain," who reacted to the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas by interrogating James Harris's guests and shooting James Doyle's corpse in the Pottawatomie Massacre. Financed by the Secret Six, this man's cause led him to storm a Virginia arsenal before J.E.B. Stuart and Robert E. Lee intercepted him. For 10 points, name this radical hanged for his 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry, a pre-Civil War abolitionist.
