Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1 is C!. They believed it was their duty to bring the slaves Salvation!.
2 is most likely C as well!. While I personally don't know why he attacked the armory, but I know he was an advocate of leading a militant insurrection against slavery!. He was also the leader of the Pottawatomie (not sure of that's spelled right) Massacre in 1856, in which he and others murdered several pro-Slavery settlers in Franklin County, Kansas!.
