She showed that she went against slavery in her books and she really caught attention as she was writing her books. She believed that slavery was wrong and she stood up to it, from her work people could see that she was a strong willed woman. Harriet took risks like during the Civil War times it was extremely rare for a woman to be anything but a woman or a teacher. **  **She has many famous quotes but one that really caught people’s attention was “Human nature is above all things lazy.” Harriet has many organizations such as “Stowe Elementary School”, which teaches children about her and more things, she also has a club named after, which is called the Harriet Beecher Stowe Club which is a club that talks about the past and what they can do to change things. **  **She inspires us to believe in our own ability to effect change. Harriet wrote //“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”// opened the eyes of the American’s of how poorly African’s were being treated. It made people get up and fight for African’s rights. I’m very proud of Harriet Beecher because she persuades more people to get up and help fight for African’s rights. Harriet Beecher is a very interesting woman and she inspires a lot of people, she wants people to stand up and fight for things that are not right. **  **Harriet Beecher Stowe is a very interesting person, she is a very educated woman and a lot of people respect her and thank her for the things she has done.
