Answer:
Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known as the person who wrote the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Explanation:
Beecher-Stowe was the daughter of Lyman Beecher, a prominent Congregationalist pastor from Boston, and sister of eminent pastor Henry Ward Beecher. In 1832 her family moved to Cincinnati, home of the abolitionist movement, where her father became the first president of the Lane Theological Seminary.
In Cincinnati she gained first-hand knowledge about slavery and the Underground Railroad and felt called to write The Uncle Tom's Cabin, the first American novel with an African American protagonist. The book is believed to be based on the life of Josiah Henson. It is a description of the life of American slaves that was published in serial form between 1851 and 1852 in the abolitionist magazine National Era. The book became a huge success worldwide and appeared in more than sixty languages.
