What President Lincoln mean when he said to Harriet Beecher Stowe, "So this is the little lady who made this big war," to what was he referring?President Lincoln was referring to Harriet Stowe's Uncle Toms Cabin, a novel written about slavery. The reason why this novel becomes such a symbol for the North and other countries was because it was the first novel in American culture to ever have blacks as its main character with wickedness slavery has it story line. Harriet Stowe wanted to write this novel because she wanted a way to combat slavery due to the fugitive slave law.

What impact did the statehood of California have on the slavery issue in the US?

A very serious one. If it could have been divided along the Missouri line into North and South California, there might not have been a war. But it had to join the union as one state, and Congress decided it had to be free soil. This meant that the Missouri Compromise had to be abandoned, and the new compromise that replaced it had to include some appeasement of the South. They settled on the Fugitive Slave Act, which was meant as a robust defence of property ownership. But it greatly offended the North, as the public was under pressure to report anyone who looked like a runaway slave. This raised the temperature of the whole issue, and provoked Harriet Beecher Stowe into writing 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. The war could not be far off.
