Stowe, Harriet Beecher American writer and abolitionist, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1850-1852), a forceful indictment of slavery and one of the most powerful novels of its kind in American literature. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, Stowe was the daughter of the liberal clergyman Lyman Beecher. Her husband, the Reverend Calvin Ellis Stowe, was also an ardent opponent of slavery. Her first book, The Mayflower, or Sketches of Scenes and Characters Among the Descendants of the Pilgrims, appeared in 1843. While living in Brunswick, Maine, Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. It was serialized in an abolitionist paper, the National Era, and issued as a book in 1852. As a serial, the story attracted no unusual notice. The success of the book, however, was unprecedented; 500,000 copies were sold in the United States alone within five years, and it was translated into more than 20 foreign languages. It did much to crystallize militant antislavery sentiment in the North, and therefore was an important factor in precipitating the American Civil War (1861-1865). Uncle Tom's Cabin, like most of Stowe's novels, is rambling in structure, but rich in pathos and dramatic incident. It is one of the best examples of the so-called sentimental fiction that enjoyed popularity in the United States during the 1800s. Sentimental writers focused on domestic scenes, and their work evoked strong emotions. Like Stowe, many of these authors were social reformists, but they were criticized for creating overly idealized characters.

ARRIVAL IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM by: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) OOK on the travellers kneeling, In thankful gladness, here, As the boat that brought them o'er the lake, Goes steaming from the pier. 'Tis Harry, like a girl disguised, His mother, like a boy, But the father kneels beside them, And their hearts are full of joy. No man can buy or sell them, No trader chase them more, The land of freedom has been gained, The good Canadian shore. And they are strangers on the soil, As poor as poor can be, But the English flag above them floats, They know that they are free.

She wrote a story called Uncle Tom's Cabin describing how badly slaves were treated in the South. Many Northerners who read her book became so angry about slavery that they became abolitionists . They told their leaders that they wanted to end slavery as soon as possible. The book was the first American novel with a black hero and it stirred deep, new sympathy for slaves. In one year over 300,000 copies were sold, and a very famous play was based on the story as well. The book was banned in the South, but many Southerners read it anyway.

Introduction Mary and Emily Edmondson were among fourteen siblings born into slavery in Washington, D.C., to a free African-American father and an enslaved mother. In 1848, these sisters, their brothers Samuel and Richard, and 73 others attempted to flee to freedom on the schooner Pearl. The ship was recaptured, and the girls were taken by a trader to the New Orleans slave pens to be sold as "fancy girls." Paul Edmondson, the girls' father, went to New York to plead their case with the New York Anti-Slavery Society, and, more successfully, with Reverend Henry Ward Beecher and his Brooklyn church, which raised the money to buy the girls out of slavery. The case caught the attention of Beecher's sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, then completing

Sunshine for Women WHM 2001, ToC Home Harriet Beecher Stowe American Slavery and Abolitionism In the 18th and early 19th centuries, there were a few voices calling for the end of slavery, but the call for the compulsory abolition of slavery fell on fertile ground only with the religious revival's moral urgency to end sinful practices in the North of the 1820s. The abolitionist movement reached the crusading stage in the 1830 under the leadership of Theodore Dwight Weld, "the most mobbed man" in America, the brothers Arthur and Lewis Tappan, and William Lloyd Garrison. At first, abolitionists, widely regarded as a lunatic fringe, caused riots and mob violence wherever they went. After all, in the common mind, slavery was an interest, "concentrated, persistent, practical, and testily defensive," while antislavery was a mere sentiment, "diffuse, sporadic, moralistic and tentative." Spurred by the Christian evangelical fervor of the era, abolitionism began to coalesce from a set of privately held beliefs into a political movement that generated a growing stream of books, pamphlets and petitions Although divided over the means of obtaining their goal, the abolitionists founded The American Anti-Slavery Society (1833), flooded the slave and free states with abolitionist literature, and lobbied in Washington DC for the end of slavery. Writers like John Greenleaf Whittier and speakers such as Wendell Phillips further spread the abolitionist message. As time progressed, anti-slavery societies were founded in every state, then every major city, then in many localities in the North.

Bibliography Uncle Tom's Cabin Criticism Links ... Domestic Goddesses Home Domestic Goddess Harriet Beecher-Stowe is most famous for her controversial anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut, the seventh of nine children. Her father was the well-known Congregational minister Lyman Beecher and his wife was Roxana Foote Beecher. Roxana Beecher died when her daughter was five years old, causing Beecher to feel great empathy, she felt, for slave mothers and children who were separated under slavery. As Elizabeth Ammons points out in her preface to the Norton edition, if Beecher had been a man, she probably would have followed in her father's footsteps and become a minister. As it was, she was also wife and sister to preachers. She maintained that it was her Christian passion which compelled her to write her novel. The Stowes' family was not rich, and therefore, Harriet's life was sometimes conflicted between the necessities of motherhood and writing, or, between vocation and avocation. She eventually bore six children, with whom her writing competed. Stowe chose to write Uncle Tom's Cabin because her sister-in-law urged her to use her skills to aid the cause of abolition. The novel was incredibly popular and sold more copies than any book before it, with the exception only of the Christian Bible. "Today

When Stowe was eleven years old, she entered the seminary at Hartford, Connecticut, kept by her elder sister, Catherine. The school had advanced curriculum and she learned languages, natural and mechanical science, composition, ethics, logic, mathematics: subjects that were generally taught to male students.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 - 1896) Stowe's landmark novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin, has often been cited as one of the causes of the Civil War. She became outraged by written accounts of the injustice and cruelty of the slave system and traveled to the South to investigate it herself. The material she gathered became the source for Uncle Tom's Cabin; or Life Among the Lowly. The book, which was first published in 1831 in serial form in an abolitionist newspaper, became an immediate sensation, soon gaining worldwide popularity. Stowe was also an ardent supporter of women's rights, and she collaborated with her sister, Catherine Beecher, on nineteen domestic-science books.

Though the younger Beecher's ministry of love and redemption contrasted strongly with his father's strict Calvinist philosophy, both he and his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, carried on their father's opposition to slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin , rendered her tragic subject in a style that combined heartfelt conviction with endless documentary detail, and the book made her the best-known author of her generation.
