2. Roxanna Beecher Lyman Beecher Born June 14th, 1811 to two pertinent people, Reverend Lyman Beecher and wife, Roxanna, taught her through a Christian steeple. Harriet raised in Litchfield, Connecticut was one of eleven children, She knew right from wrong early on, along with sister Catharine. Catherine founded Hartford Female Seminary, where in 1824 Harriet enrolled Here is where Harriet learned her writing abilities, and her leadership would unfold. Catharine Beecher

3. Harriet Elisabeth Stowe was highly regarded yet she was still a woman, so she wrote books to give her feminine opinion. She would not tolerate slavery on a plantation, She did not see it as a vacation, She did not want slaves from African boats, She did not want slaves in fields with goats, She would not try to comprehend Why slaves and women got the stick’s short end. She would not promote ruined family foundations, She would not tolerate any plantations, She did not want slaves beat everyday, She did not want tortured, black slaves She did not want slaves here or there, She did not want them anywhere.

4. Peculiar was an understatement for this institution Slaves are property, implied by article four in the Constitution Angry that they are 3/5 th s of a regular citizen And “In consequence of any law therein” someone who leaves their laborer must be delivered back to him Then the Constitution was supposed to be impartial Where was Judicial Review as imposed by John Marshall? Slaves did not try for freedom for they had no say in trial, A question like this imposed a slave’s immediate denial. A country built on equality for all where everyone has a say, was really just a prejudice notion in a white male kind of way

5. At age 40, the Fugitive Slave Law stimulated her ambitions Saying slaves couldn’t run away, and were arrested if found missing. A northern Zax, and a Southwestern Zax, never stepping back Made travelers subject to arrest on the Underground Railroad tracks. Harriet knew that abolition would be distant with threats of arrest She took her writing talent and put it to the test. Pondering the slavery issue, probably while in the kitchen Trapped in a cult of domesticity, so there was nobody to listen Harriet finally found peace in abolition

6. Slaves had less citizenship than a pale green pants with nobody inside them, So Harriet took her opinions and made others coincide with them Harriet saw the wrong, in all of the racist blabbing, So she took Uncle Tom, and wrote about his cabin. Her son had died within hours, of the intestinal disease cholera. (collar-ah) Harriet sympathized with slaves through losing family and got others to follow her. So off she went to publish it in1852 “So you’re the little woman that wrote the book that started this great war” said Lincoln, after her debut.

7. “Who so low, who so poor, who so despised as the American Slave” These words are straight from Harriet, regarding people’s view of slaves in that day. “nobody, through me, should ever run the risk of being parted from home and friends” After losing a son to a fatal disease, slaves devastation of leaving families is a feeling she can comprehend.

8. And so after writing a book, that astounded the nation, Harriet Beecher Stowe conquered slavery with her strong dedication. Now anyone, any thing, and any sneetch, is free with or without a star, in any state, town, or beach. In the abolitionist movement, she helped demolish the cruel slavery Whether one fish was red or two were blue, they had the right to be free.
