b. leads a raid into the united states armory at harpers ferry
c. flees from authorities and moves with his family to a town in ohio
d. is charged with treason and conspiracy to commit insurrection

Explanation:

John Brown's life events follow a chronological order of increasing radical action against slavery. After his actions at Pottawatomie Creek (a violent response to pro - slavery forces in Kansas), his next major, well - known action was leading the raid on the Harpers Ferry Armory in 1859. This raid was an attempt to arm enslaved people for a revolt.

• Option A: The outrage at Lawrence, Kansas (sacking of Lawrence by pro - slavery forces) was a precursor to the Pottawatomie Creek attack, not a subsequent event.
• Option C: Moving to Ohio was an earlier life event, not following the Pottawatomie Creek action.
• Option D: The charges of treason and conspiracy came after the Harpers Ferry raid, not as the immediate next event in the sequence.

Answer:

B. Leads a raid into the United States Armory at Harpers Ferry
