Hyun+K.+-+I+am+Harriet+Beecher+Stowe

My I am person is Harriet Beecher Stowe. Before I started my research, the only fact I knew about my person was that my person wrote the book: __Uncle Tom's Cabin__ which acknowledged so many people of the suffering African Americans' lives. And that was it; I knew nothing more about her before I began my research because she wasn't well known for her other historical contributions.

During my research, I had numerous questions that came in to consideration while researching about my I am person. Most were questions that I could easily find the answer to by looking in Wikipedia such as her birth and death, where she was born, what school she attended, and etc. But some questions were not answered factually but needed research and time. I think those questions that require time, consideration, and efficiancy; yet provokes people's interest when read are the ones that should be chosen as my historical question. Some of the several questions that I have came up with included: Does Harriet's family surroundings influence her success in the future? What did her siblings accomplish?; Why was she buried at Phillips Academy, Andover out of all the places?; Why did Harriet decide to write books out of all the things that she could have done?; What encouraged Stowe to begin writing the book?; What were the reaction of African Americans when they heard or read the book?; How did Stowe find out so much in detail of African American life?; In what other ways did Stowe contribute to the Abolitionist side of the Civil War? These were some of my questions that kept popping up in my head as I researched about my person. I think my major question is this:


 * How did Stowe's family surroundings effect her carrer?**
