Although she used a pen rather than her voice to convince people of the
evils of slavery, she became more famous than any of her brothers. She
firmly believed that words could make change, and by writing Uncle Tom's
Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe hastened the Civil War and changed the course
of America history.
