John Brown
Explanation:
His raid instilled fear into the Southerns. Slave-based agriculture was the main foundation of the Southern economy, so getting rid of slavery that would devastate the southern economy and way of life. Brown's raids made some states to pass harsher slave laws, making it harder for the slaves to congregate and meet and talk. So it made life harder on the slaves in the South but it also encouraged some Northerners to help escaping slaves. John Brown is looked at as both a civil rights leader and a domestic terrorist, depending on your views.
