Laura Ingalls Wilder did not write about her personal feelings on slavery in her books. However, she did provide a historical account of the time period in which she lived, which included slavery in some regions of the United States.
Laura had nothing whatsoever to do with illustrating the books. A famous illustrator named Garth Williams agreed to illustrate a new edition of the books, and spent several years traveling around to the places Laura had lived to get a feel for the land. His illustrations appeared in the new 1953 edition, and Laura reportedly loved them.
She states in one book, I believe it is By the Shores of Silver Lake, that she is proud that America does not answer to any King, that we are free.

Laura Ingalls Wilder was always a wonderful storyteller, and people felt she had taken them back in time with her stories. She was very patriotic and people got a sense of that from her writings. She was also thrifty, practical, a woman of faith but not without charm. In her 40s, during World War I, Laura was encouraged to write a newspaper column called "How A Farm Woman Thinks." It was so popular she was soon writing articles for newspapers and magazines all over the Ozark region. She wrote about life on a farm, the need to get behind the troops in WWI, and sometimes reminisced about her early life. At age 65, Laura wrote "Little House in the Big Woods." It describes one year in the Ingalls's life, before she and her family left Wisconsin for the prairies. The book is also loaded with Pa's lively stories he told Laura and sister Mary which excited them and which Laura never forgot. Readers came to the end of the book and asked, "and then what?" Sometimes they wrote Laura in person to ask this question! Their curiosity led to her writing "Little House on the Prairie," and she discovered she really enjoyed writing. Fan letters poured in, even from other countries. Over the next eleven years, Laura completed the last of the eight Little House books, "These Happy Golden Years." By this time, Laura was a widely respected children's author, whose fans flooded her with letters and sent her pictures. Adults named libraries and children's book awards after her. All of her family's homesites are now museums. The very popular TV series, "Little House on the Prairie" (1974-84) is very loosely based on Laura's life. Laura was very surprised at becoming so famous. She had planned on writing only the first book, "Little House in the Big Woods." She felt that Pa's stories were too good to lose, and that future generations should enjoy them. People felt they knew Laura -- some even showed up on her doorstep in Missouri -- and while her last Little House book was written more than 70 years ago, she and her books are as popular as they have ever been. 16-6-2014
