This was retribution for murders against abolitionists. Every act of violence John Brown did was a reaction to provocative violence from the slaveholding class.

Edit 2: Potawatamie is fun to say, I'm glad he killed people there so I get to say that word more often and because they deserved killing
Sounds like this “John Brown” guy was just as much of a reactionary as the alt-right the way he was reacting so much to things! Guess there is no difference between the extremes. Another slam dunk for horseshoe theory.
