Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing greatly influenced many people's thoughts on the matter of slavery. Southerners thought her writings to be lies and a way of making southern means of economy look bad. Harriet Beecher Stowe thought her writing was not one sided on the fact of the evils of slavery. She thought she fairly depicted slavery from both points of view of Northerners and Southerners. Little did she know this was not the case. She received hate/threatening mail from angry Southern plantation owners. She once received a slave's ear cut off by his owner as a warning that this would happen to any other slave's if Harriet did not stop writing these lies.
