Harriet Beecher Stowe

"When President Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1863, he is reported to have said, 'So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!'

Uncle Tom's Cabin may not have caused the Civil War, but it shook both North and South. It declared the profound value of a human soul and made emancipation inevitable. . . .

In 1850 her husband became professor at Bowdoin College and moved his family to Brunswick, Maine. In Brunswick, Stowe wrote the story of Uncle Tom's Cabin for serial publication in the National Era, an antislavery paper of Washington, D.C., in 1851 and 1852 in 40 installments, each with a cliffhanger ending. Her name became anathema in the South. But elsewhere the book had an unparalleled popularity; it was translated into at least 23 languages. When it appeared in book form, it sold 1,000,000 copies before the Civil War. The dramatic adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin played to capacity audiences. Stowe reinforced her story with The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin (1853), in which she accumulated a large number of documents and testimonies against slavery. . . .

By literary standards, the novel's situations are contrived, the dialogue unreal, and the slaves romanticized. Still, Stowe communicated the absurdity of slavery through Tom's triumph over the brutal evil of Simon Legree.

'How would ye like to be tied to a tree, and have a slow fire lit up around ye?' asked Legree. 'Wouldn't that be pleasant, eh, Tom?'

'Mas't,' said Tom, 'I know ye can do dreadful things, but'--he stretched himself upward and clasped his hands--'but after ye've killed the body, there ain't no more ye can do. And oh! there's all eternity to come after that!' "
