Harriet Beecher Stowe attended school in Hartford, Connecticut, for 10 years, from ages five to fifteen. She later continued her education at the Hartford Female Seminary.
Harriet Beecher Stowe had seven children, two of whom died in infancy and one who died in early childhood. Her son Charles, a soldier in the Civil War, died at the age of 29. Her daughters lived long lives and passed away in their 60s and 70s.
Harriet Beecher Stowe would have typically worn mid-19th century attire, which included long skirts, high-necked blouses, shawls, and bonnets. As a writer and abolitionist, she likely dressed modestly and professionally for her public appearances and speaking engagements.
There are many editions of this Harriet Beecher Stowe classic. The Dover Thrift edition has 384 pages. The illustrated version has 404 pages.
It didn't for long. The Fugitive Slave Act was meant to appease the South. But it enraged the North, and Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as a protest against it. This was not exactly easing tensions. When Lincoln met Stowe, he said "So you're the little lady who started this big war."
Harriet Beecher Stowe published over 30 books during her lifetime. However, her seminal and most popular "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was likely her best work.
The novel of Uncle Tom's Cabin was written a full ten years before the US Civil War began. In the 19th century with slow communications, ten years is a very long time. It's impact on the war was minimal to none. Also, Harriet Beecher Stowe the abolitionist blamed the North and the South for the institution of slavery. The book sold well but it was a novel, not a documentary. Slavery was an evil but Uncle Tom's Cabin did not make 300,000 Northern soldiers lose their lives.
I think Harriet Tubman picked cotton.

yes she did
Its not a thing, its a book written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the name and it sparked northerners into believing how bad the slaves had it, in the eyes of the Author of course.
