__**Harriet Beecher Stowe**__



My Name is Harriet Beecher Stowe. Here are some key details about my life. I was born on the 14th of June 1811 and was expected to die on the 1st of July 1896 which would be at the age of 85. My birthplace is Lictchfield, Conneticut USA. I used to work as a teacher along with my older sister Catharine. After I had finished working as a teacher, I married a man called Clive Stowe. He worked as a clergyman, and at the time he was a widower. We moved to Bunswick, Maine, after Clive obtained an acedemic position at Bowdoin Colledge. I had seven children but some died during early childhood. To help support my family by writing for the religious periodicals. I wrote poems, travel books, biographical sketches, and children's books, as well as adult novels.
 * __Details about my life__**

I abolished the slave trade by writing many novels about the brutal truth about the slave trade. One of my most famous novels that got recognised and made people change thier views about the slave trade, was called "Uncle Tom's Cabin". This novel focuses on a character called uncle Tom, who is a long suffering slave. He is around slaves and slave owners, who share stories which go into depth abouth the history of the slave trade. After that it explains about the cruel reality of slavery and how Christian love can overcome something so destructive and the enslavement of fellow human beings. My Book inspired plays, to change peoples views on the slave trade. My book had a big change on people, I met Abraham Lincoln and he said "so this is the little lady who made this big war".

I think that my controbutions were very important because without my book, it would not have reached important people like Arbraham Lincolnn, and would have changed people views about the slave trade. It would not have produced plays and people would still think that the slave trade is still good thing. And it wouldnt alow the slaves to be equal.
