How many “murder raids” did the North fund.?
It was not the South that they wanted to attack. It was the institution of slavery. No slaves, no John Brown raid on Harpers Ferry.
“It was not the South that they wanted to attack. It was the institution of slavery.”
That is an interesting comment.
Setting aside for a moment the possibility that attacking slavery was a pretext for destroying political and economic rivals who happened to be in the South; setting that aside, slavery was legal and had a rich history North and South.
In fact, slavery was enshrined in the United States Constitution. Those fighting to overthrow slavery through the use of violence were trying to overthrow the Constitution through the use of violence.

I don’t know if we will ever know the answer to your question.
Certainly John Brown had blood on his hands prior to his Virginia murder raid.
