Supported by a "provisional army" of 21 men, Brown hoped to rouse the slaves in Virginia to rebellion. But he was quickly captured and, after a short but stormy trial, hanged on December 2, 1859. Brian McGinty provides the first comprehensive account of the trial, which raised important questions about jurisdiction, judicial fairness, and the nature of treason under the American constitutional system. 606 $aTrials (Treason)$zVirginia 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aHarpers Ferry (W.
