When the two black persons saw Eliza’s getaway, they started to chuckle with joy on which the seller trailed them with his horsewhip, cussing and blaspheming as you might expect. But he could not cross the river, and went in with ill temper to sleep that evening at the small hostel, resolute to get a vessel, if doable, and snag Harry the next day. Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist and novelist. She was from the Beecher family, a prestigious devotional family, and is mostly known for her book Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which paints the cruel situations for subjugated African Americans. The novel has gotten millions as a story and drama, and became inspirational in the USA and Great Britain, reviving anti-slavery forces in the American North, while infuriating pervasive madness in the South. Harriet made 30 tomes, such as novels, three travel books, and selections of essays and correspondences. She was successful for both her books and her public views on social matters of those times. Harriet Elisabeth Beecher was born in Litchfield, Connecticut. She was the seventh of her 13 siblings to her parents, the opinionated Calvinist pastor Lyman Beecher and Roxana Foote, a sincerely spiritual woman who died when Harriet was at an early age of 5. Roxana’s grandfather on the mother’s side was General Andrew Ward of the Revolutionary War. Her prominent siblings involved a sister, Catharine Beecher, who became a professor and writer and her brothers who became clergies such as Henry Ward Beecher, who was a distinguished minister and abolitionist, Charles Beecher, and Edward Beecher. Harriet studied in the Hartford Female Seminary administered by her elder sister Catharine, where she earned a customary scholastic education generally kept for males during the time with an emphasis in the masterpieces, such as studies of dialects and mathematics. One of her classmates was Sarah P. Willis, who afterwards wrote using the pen name Fanny Fern.
