http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201305/201305120320107943042.mp3Missus Howe had met John Brown. Like him, she was an anti-slavery activist. She opposed those Americans who used black people as slaves. Unlike him, she did not approve of using violence to end slavery.
In eighteen fifty-nine, John Brown tried to start a revolt of slaves. He led an attack on Harper's Ferry, a town in what was then the state of Virginia. The town had a factory that made guns for the army. It also had a storage center for military equipment. The attack on Harper's Ferry failed. John Brown was put on trial for treason. He was found guilty and was executed.Howe夫人与John Brown 接触过。和John Brown一样，她也是反奴隶制的一份子。她反对美国人将黑人作为奴隶。但她又和John不一样，她接受不了使用暴力来结束奴隶制。
在1859年，John试图开展一场奴隶起义。他领导了一场在哈泊斯费里的袭击，这是一个由城镇后来变成维吉尼亚一个州的地方。这个城镇有着为军队制造枪支的工厂，同样也有军事设备的储备中心。这一袭击失败了。John背负了叛国的罪名。最后，他罪名成立并且被判死刑。
