How can we twist things so that John Brown's insurrection has a far greater immediate effect than it did OTL? Historically he only killed a few people and got himself hanged. How can we make his rebellion far more large-scale and successful? Would it help to replace John Brown with someone sane? Could we possibly have several Harper's Ferry raids committed by people like him? I'm studying him in school right now and he's a pretty fascinating figure, so I'm interested in learning more about him and the potential impact he could have had.
