June 14, 1811, American female writer Mrs. Stowe's birthday
214 years ago today, June 14, 1811 (April 24, 1811 in the lunar calendar), the American female writer Mrs. Stowe's birthday. Mrs. Stowe, author of the famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin", was born on June 14, 1811 in a famous priest family in North America and died in 1896. The Civil War, or the War of Emancipation, was fought in the 1860s. But since the 1820s, the issue of abolition has become the central issue of progressive public opinion in the United States. At that time, many famous American writers stood on the abolitionist side and called for the liberation of black slaves. Mrs. Stowe is the most outstanding of these abolitionist writers. In her youth, Mrs. Stowe moved with her family to Cincinnati, just across the river from the southern slave state. She saw with her own eyes the miserable lives of black slaves under the cruel oppression of southern slave owners. Christian fraternity and political democratic ideals drove her to pay close attention to the fate of black slaves. In the 1950s, when the abolition movement reached its peak, Mrs. Stowe began to serialize "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in an abolitionist journal at the time. The work condemns the evil of slavery in the south through the fate of the protagonist, Tom, the old slave slave, and other slaves. The novel extensively describes the cruel oppression and exploitation of black slaves by slave owners across the southern United States, and depicts the faces of various slave owners, ranging from the hypocritical Shebir to the fierce Legri. The novel also depicts different types of slave images, ranging from Tom, who believed in Christ and submitted to fate, to George, who stood up to fight slavery. As soon as the novel was published, it attracted great attention and response at home and abroad. When President Lincoln received Mrs. Stowe, he called her "the little woman who wrote a book and led to a great war."
