In Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet uses a social and also a reflective characteristic. "I would rather not sell him, the fact is, sir, I'm a humane man, and I hate to take the boy from his mother, sir." In this work, Harriet refers to the pain that comes with slavery and also the aftermath of it.]]> 2018-10-31 19:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1100299626/dfmuz336ky13/wish/299149227 1100299626 https://padlet.com/1100299626/dfmuz336ky13/wish/299151032 In most of Harriet's writing, she either had political, social, and reflective characteristics.
