He was a thot- Tyson Mayfield of Kansas XDXDXD
Many northerners saw John Brown as an abolitionist martyr, dying in a righteous cause. Most southerners saw him as a terrorist, using violent means to further his extreme agenda. The South geared up its militia training, as a result.
Some northerners came to admire him for trying to end slavery. :)

Because they thought he was trying to do the right thing
Because he was a White abolitionist leading blacks and whites in rebellion, trying to free slaves! His actions terrified Southerners as they thought he was the start of more rebellion and strife. Northerners, in turn, glorified him for his actions against the moral evils of slavery and sang the song 'John Browns Body' as they marched into battle
