Harriet Beecher Stowe Activities

This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Harriet Beecher Stowe was born into a large New England religious family. Her father, Lyman Beecher, was a prominent Evangelical Calvinist minister, and her brother, Henry Ward Beecher, followed in their father's footsteps to become one of the best-known preachers in the country. Stowe's oldest sister, Catharine Beecher, ran a succession of girls' schools and gained national recognition for her theories of education, health, and domestic economy. When the family moved west to Cincinnati in 1832, the Beecher sisters founded a new religious school for young women. Because Ohio was a border state between North and South, Stowe met fugitive slaves and encountered fierce debates over slavery while she lived there, ultimately leading her to adopt the abolitionist cause.
In 1836, Harriet Beecher married Calvin Stowe, a widower and professor of biblical studies at a seminary in Cincinnati. She soon found herself overwhelmed by domestic concerns, raising seven children and managing a large household on a professor's small salary. To supplement the family's finances, Stowe published stories and sketches in magazines. In 1850, the Stowes moved back to New England when Calvin Stowe accepted a teaching job first in Maine and later in Massachusetts. Stowe's commitment to the abolitionist cause remained fierce, and, spurred by her outrage at the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, she resolved to "write something that will make the whole nation feel what an accursed thing slavery is."

HARRIET BEECHER STOWE
"So this is the little lady who caused the great war." T hese are the words legend attributes to Abraham Lincoln when he was introduced to Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862, shortly before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing the slaves for whom Mrs. Stowe had been such a passionate advocate. By the time Harriet Beecher Stowe visited the White House, over a decade had passed since the publication of her best-selling novel. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN had given an incendiary voice to the Abolition Movement, rocked the complacency of North and South alike, and forced a nation to look within their souls at not only the socio-political horrors of the institution of slavery, but also at its moral corrosiveness to the very fiber of the nation. Born in Litchfield, CT, on June 14, 1811, Harriet Beecher came of a family of ministers. Her father Lyman Beecher was a famous preacher and the Founder of Lane Theological Seminary; her brother, the fiery orator Henry Ward Beecher, used his Brooklyn pulpit to affect social reform, and her husband, Calvin Stowe, who had been a disciple of her father, was a noted Biblical scholar. It is not surprising then that Harriet Beecher's faith in social progress was inextricably linked to her belief in Christianity, and it is in this context that her writingespecially UNCLE TOM'S Cabin needs to be viewed. Uncle Tom's
Cabin
From 1824-1831 Harriet first studied and then taught at the Hartford Female Seminary, which her older sister Catharine had founded, before the family moved to Ohio, where Lyman's new ministry beckoned. Relocated, Catharine established Western Female Institute, where Harriet continued to teach. Together the sisters also collaborated in writing several tracts on domestic science and children's educational texts. Following her marriage in 1836, she devoted her energies to childbearing and homemaking; seven babies were born to the Stowes between 1836 and 1850(though one son died in infancy), and the couple made their home first in Cincinnati, then in Brunswick, ME (where Calvin Stowe became a professor at Bowdoin College), and later in Andover, MA, where Stowe took a post at Andover Theological Seminary.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) is the American novelist widely credited with having ignited anti-slavery sentiments in the North with her book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin. She arrived in Brunswick on May 25, 1850 ahead of her husband, Calvin Ellis Stowe, who was returning to teach theology at his alma mater, Bowdoin College. While worshiping at Brunswick’s First Parish Church, Harriet Beecher Stowe was said to have had the “vision” that inspired Uncle Tom’s Cabin. She wrote the famous book at her home at 63 Federal Street and in her husband’s study in Appleton Hall on the Bowdoin College campus. She and her husband also invited Bowdoin students – among them, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain – into her home on Saturday evenings for readings from her works. By the time she left Brunswick in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe was famous throughout the world.

THE MISERERE
by: Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)
    OT of the earth that music! all things fade;
    Vanish the pictured walls! and, one by one,
    The starry candles silently expire!
    And now, O Jesus! round that silent cross
    A moment's pause, a hush as of the grave.
    Now rises slow a silver mist of sound,
    And all the heavens break out in drops of grief;
    A rain of sobbing sweetness, swelling, dying,
    Voice into voice inweaving with sweet throbs,
    And fluttering pulses of impassioned moan,
    Veiled voices, in whose wailing there is awe,
    And mysteries of love and agony,
    A yearning anguish of celestial souls,
    A shiver as of wings trembling the air,
    As if God's shining doves, his spotless birds,
    Wailed with a nightingale's heart-break of grief,
    In this their starless night, when for our sins
    Their sun, their life, their love, hangs darkly there,
    Like a slain lamb, bleeding his life away!

Harriet Beecher Stowe
One Cause of the Big War
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was the quiet wife of a minister. But based on what she learned while living in Cincinnati, she wrote a book that changed the world. The book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, was a novel, but it was based on factand it made people see how terrible slavery was. In fact, Hatty Stowe's book helped give the North the will to fight the Civil War and end slavery. How do we know? Abraham Lincoln said so!
Books
There is, of course, The Book itself, which has never gone out of print. But young readers will especially enjoy Harriet Beecher Stowe and the Beecher Preachers, by Jean Fritz (New York: Putnam, 1994). Another goiod book for young readers is Harriet: the Life and World of Harriet Beecher Stowe, by Norma Johnston (Peach tree Books, 1996). For older readers, the author's life is treated in greater detail in Suzanne M. Coil's Harriet Beecher Stowe (New York: Franklin Watts, 1993).
Places to Go
Southwestern Ohio boasts two interesting places to visit, both worth a trip. In Cincinnati the Harriet Beecher Stowe House is operated as a museum by the Ohio Historical Society. It's located at 2950 Gilbert Ave., and offers exhitbits about the plight of African Americans in the nineteenth and what their freidns were doing to help them. East on Cincinnati, in the little town of Ripley, you can visit another museum house maintained by the Ohio Historical Society. It's the house of the Rev. John Rankin, one of the first stations on the Underground Railroad. Rankin's tales were of Stowe's inspirations in writing her book.

October 25 ~  Never Give Up Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin
"When you get into a t i g h t place and everything goes against you until it s ee m s that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, n e v e r give up then, for that is just the p l a c e and time that the t i d e will turn." ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe As part of the U.S. Abolitionist Movement to free the slaves, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) wrote the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. "Let us resolve: First to attain the grace of silence ; Second to deem all fault-finding that does no good a sin... Third to practice the grace and virtue of praise," wrote Stowe who was a teacher, the mother of nine, and the wife of a minister. "Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be done," she said. Her novel told the tale of Simon Legree, a cruel slaveholder who whipped his slave Tom to death. Uncle Tom's Cabin became a best-seller and convinced many that slavery should end. As part of the Underground Railroad, she helped slaves escape to freedom in the North.

Uncle Tom's Cabin
Illustration from an early edition of Uncle Tom's Cabin The first installment of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) — the novel which was to bring her international fame — appeared in June 1851 in the National Era , an anti-slavery paper in Washington DC. It was serialized until April 1852 and was based of accounts of runaway slaves which she heard, and evidence of their conditions of slaves which she gathered, while visiting Kentucky, a Slave State. It was a powerful indictment of slavery, it did not attract much interest until it was published as a novel in 1852. More than 500,000 copies were sold in the first five years in the USA alone. Although Harriet Beecher Stowe became a hated figure in the slave-owning States, her novel galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the North. Many historians regard her novel as a significant force in leading to the Civil War which ended in the defeat of the Confederate States of America and the abolition of slavery in the USA.

Stowe wrote the work in reaction to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which made it illegal to assist an escaped slave. In the story 'Uncle Tom' of the title is bought and sold three times and finally beaten to death by his last owner. The book was quickly translated into 37 languages and it sold in five years over half a million copies in the United States. Uncle Tom's Cabin was also among the most popular plays of the 19th century. "Eliza made her desperate retrest across the river just in the dusk of twilight. The gray mist of evening, rising slowly from the river, enveloped her as she disappeared up the bank, and the swollen current and floundering masses of ice presented a hopeless barrier between her and her pursuer." (from Uncle Tom's Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, and brought up with puritanical strictness. She had one sister and six brothers. Her father, Lyman Beecher, was a controversial Calvinist preacher. Her mother, Roxana Foote, died at 41 - Stowe was four at that time. Her aunt, Harriet Foote, influenced deeply Stowe's thinking, especially with her strong belief in culture. Samuel Foote, her uncle, encouraged her to read works of Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott. When Stowe was eleven years old, she entered the seminary at Hartford, Connecticut, kept by her elder sister Catherine. The school had advanced curriculum and she learned languages, natural and mechanical science, composition, ethics, logic, mathematics, subjects that were generally taught to male students. Four years later she was employed as an assistant teacher. Her father married again - he became the president of lane Theological Seminary.
