Explanation:

First Question (Who led the Harpers Ferry raid?):

To answer, we recall historical events: John Brown led the 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry to spark a slave rebellion, aiming to promote abolition. Jefferson Davis was the Confederate president, Lincoln was president during the Civil War, and Stephen Douglas was a politician. So the correct option is John Brown.

From U.S. Civil War history, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union in December 1860, after Lincoln's election. Virginia, Florida, and Texas seceded later.

Answer:

C. John Brown
