Brown first gained attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856.  Dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement, he said, "These men are all talk.  What we need is action—action!"  During the Kansas campaign, Brown commanded forces at the Battle of Black Jack and the Battle of Osawatomie.  He and his supporters killed five supporters of slavery in the Pottawatomie massacre of May 1856 in response to the sacking of Lawrence by pro-slavery forces.
