Hariet Beecher Stowe was partly inspired to create Uncle Tom's Cabin by the autobiography of Josiah Henson, a black man who lived and worked on a tobacco plantation in North Bethesda, Maryland. Henson escaped slavery in 1830 by fleeing to Canada where he helped other fugitive slaves arrive and become self-sufficient, and where he wrote his memoirs.
