History

HELPP PLISS Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an abolitionist and author. Her famous novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin depicted what life was like for African‐Americans under slavery. Published in 1852, the novel (which was later made into a play) is credited for helping Americans become aware of the cruel reality of life for a slave. As the book spread, it energized anti‐slavery forces in the North, while provoking widespread anger in the South, where the book was banned. Upon meeting Stowe, Abraham Lincoln allegedly remarked, ʺSo you’re the little lady who started this great war! ʺ
