"Harriet Beecher Stowe's most famous introduction took place on or around Thanksgiving Day, 1862, when she was introduced to President Abraham Lincoln, who allegedly greeted her with these memorable words, 'So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!'" Not all historians believe that this actually happened, but it’s true that Stowe’s book was very important. Why do you think Uncle Tom’s Cabin affected people so deeply?

It explains what slavery is really like. This made abolitionists angry. It made them hate slavery even more. It gave them more to fight for.

Uncle Tom's Cabin really fired up the Union. It showed them what happened in a slave's life. It shows how horible it is to be seperated from your their family. They realized that they wanted to end slavery right then.
