She also wanted the world to know how women and religion played a role in everything. Back then, women were looked down on, they were supposed to not have any political views, they thought that they should worry about their household and maybe what was going on in their community. She also wanted people to understand how Christians should think, how they should love everyone, and should not tolerate slavery. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319420198 ehendri https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319420895 Harriet Beecher Stowe had to write A Key To Uncle Tom's Cabin  Because after it was released, because some people were taking the context of the book the wrong way.]]> 2019-01-10 19:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319420895 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319422267 The three important themes shown in the book are

She wanted people to know about how all these things were playing a role in how people thought and how they should be thinking. She uses these themes to try to get a message out to the reader. To let them know that how slaves and women were being treated is wrong, and that as being mainly Christian, they should try to change their ways and open their eyes. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319422343 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319422855 This book is important because it is history from what America was like. It shows how slavery and women's rights were changing their lives. The people who owned the slave thought it was right to own these slaves and thought men were better than women and deserved more rights. It also got people to realize that slavery was wrong and that women shouldn't have more rights than men. Also, some people may have been against the book because they still wanted slaves. The slaves helped America have workers which didn't cost much. They needed them for the food that they plant.]]> 2019-01-10 19:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319422855 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319423484 Throughout her childhood, slavery was something that she saw former slaves and heard their stories while she lived in Cincinnati.

These were to stop slavery, to show women's roles, and to show Christian love. She helped stop slavery and even gave aid to a runaway slave even though that was illegal at the time because of the Fugitive slave act. She wanted to show that women were equal to men and that they should have better roles than just to take care of the house.]]> 2019-01-10 19:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319424482 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319424538 The positives of Uncle Tom's cabin is that it showed how slaves were being treated, and it also showed the reality of what was happening. Most people had thought in some twisted way that slavery was alright, because everyone was doing it, so it had to be alright, right? However, Harriet Beecher Stowe opened America's eyes through this book. Some negatives might be that some people felt attacked by this book. Some people may have thought that it was improper, some might have thought that it was offensive as well. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319424538 ehendri https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425659 After the fugitive slave act, anyone could be taken from the street and accused of slavery, to be taken to federally appointed commissioner who would be payed $5 to every fugitive released and $10 for every fugitive taken to the south.]]> 2019-01-10 19:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425659 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425819 When the book was first wrote, people were taking the book the wrong way, she was not getting the correct message across to some people, so Harriet Beecher Stowe had to write A Key To Uncle Tom's Cabin a year later. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425819 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425855 The only negative impact that I can perceive from this book is the Civil War. Like President Lincoln said, she was "the little old lady that started this war." Her book took many by surprise, about the horrid way that the slaves and African-Americans were treated. Many people thought the book was fake. Like we discussed, books were the only way to get knowledge around. This book rocked America to its core. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319425855 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319426286 If someone refused to help slave catchers or the authority find runaway slaves they could face up to 1000 dollar fines and 6 months in jail.]]> 2019-01-10 19:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319426286 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319428023 The book was well liked and perceived, the author, however, was not.

Many people may have thought that slavery wasn't bad and to say that women should be able to do things that men could. She also had a lot of religion because she wanted to show how religion could have gotten the slaves past the harsh times. This is because with the religion, the religion told them that there was going to be a better time after being slaves. This is what kept them going. ]]> 2019-01-10 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319431401 https://padlet.com/dheld3/c8s2j3u7qxtq/wish/319431685 UTC is important today, because it has to do with our country's history.
