Who were Charlotte Bronte Emily Bronte George Sand and Harriet Beecher?
Harriet Beecher was an American authoress, most famous for her abolitionist writings and her first novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), which was a clear indictment of slavery, she also petioned Lincoln himself to speed the release of the slaves and was outspoken on the American Civil War, arguing it to be God’s Will that both the North and South of America deserved to suffer for the suffering they inflicted upon slaves. Though of these authors her writing is considered the weakest, lacking the style and finesse of the others, she is perhaps the most socially revolutionary of them all, and it could be argued that Uncle Tom’s Cabin had the largest impact upon its contemporary society.
