Answer 2

a. John Brown

Explanation:

• The massacre of Pottawatomie took place on the night of 24 May and the dawn of 25 May 1856. In retaliation to Lawrence's sacking***, Kansas by pro-slavery forces, John Brown, and a group of abolitionist settlers — a few of them Pottawatomie Rifles  members— murdered 5 pro-slavery settlers in Franklin City, Kansas
• This was one of the violent incidents surrounding the American Civil War in Kansas that came to be widely known as Bleeding Kansas. Bleeding Kansas included disputes between pro- and anti-slavery pioneers about whether Kansas Territories should join the Union as a slave state or if it should be free
• ***The Sacking of Lawrence took place on 21 May 1856, when pro-slavery protestors led by County Sheriff of Douglas, Samuel Jones assaulted and sacked Lawrence, Kansas, a town established by Massachusetts anti-slavery pioneers who wanted to make Kansas a free state. The event sparked the sporadic Kansas Territory conflict which later became known as Bleeding Kansas.
