My "I am..." person is Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the information that I already knew about her prior to my research is that she was an author and she wrote "Uncle's Cabin. Also, she sparked views about the slaves that gave people ideas and thoughts about slavery which made the book one of the components to the cause of the Civil War. She is also an acclaimed literary achievement and her works are considered classics. Some questions that came to me while i researching Stowe was that 1. Did she ever have views on slavery previously? 2. What would have happened if she had chosen another tactic to fight against slavery? 3. How did her childhood events affect her attitude making her write the book? My primary historical question is:
 * Why did Harriet Beecher Stowe choose to write a book to oppose slavery?**
