Answer:

Slave owners considered him a murderer who threatened their livelihood.

Explanation:

Southerners grew especially apprehensive of the possibility of other violent plots. They viewed Brown as a terrorist bent on destroying their civilization, and support for secession grew. Their anxiety led several southern states to pass laws designed to prevent slave rebellions.
