Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Hundreds of different writings stirred up anti-slavery sentiment, from 1688 when a Quaker petition against slavery circulated in Pennsylvania, to 1865 when the 13th Amendment passed, ending slavery. About 215 of them are reprinted in the recent AMERICAN ANTISLAVERY WRITINGS: COLONIAL BEGINNINGS TO EMANCIPATION, edited by James Basker and published by Library of America.
Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" served as an emotional argument for abolition. When Lincoln met her, he said, "So you're the little lady who wrote the book that started this big war."
The quote "The nation has been deeply stirred by a solemn passion stirred by knowledge of wrong of ideals lost" is attributed to W.E.B. Du Bois. He expressed this sentiment in the context of social justice and the African American experience. Du Bois was a prominent sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist who co-founded the NAACP and advocated for the rights and dignity of Black Americans.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was one
Uncle Tom's Cabin did what other anti-slavery works of literature did not, humanized the slave. The South however claimed that Stowe had fabricated unrealistic, one-sided images of southern slavery
Abraham Lincoln is said to have said this to Harriet Beecher Stowe after the civil war. He was referring to how Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel (Uncle Tom's Cabin) stirred the abolitionist movement in the North and angered the South. He said: "So this is the little woman who made this big war."
