Make sure you know that a book entitled Uncle Tom's Cabin reinforced Northerners' disapproval of slavery.
When President Lincoln met Stowe, he said to her, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that made this Great War?” Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin portrayed some of the most powerful arguments against slavery, and immediately became America’s first international bestseller. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” would go on to become the bestselling novel of the 19th century. Before writing her novel, she interviewed many people who were former slaves and even some who were still fugitives traveling aboard the Underground Railroad.

Paul Revere (January 1, 1735-May 10, 1818) was a silversmith who tried to warn American partiots that the British were coming as the American Revolution began. Revere was born in Boston, Massachusetts. Like his father, he was a silversmith, making tableware and other items out of silver and gold. During the French and Indian War, he served as a soldier, fighting with the British against the French and the Indians. Paul Revere joined the secret anti-British organization called the "Sons of Liberty." On December 16, 1773, Revere and others participated in the Boston Tea Party. The Tea Party was a protest against high British taxes; the colonists dumped tea, a very valuable item at the time, into Boston Harbor.
Revere became a messenger for the colonists in their fight against the British. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere and William Dawes waited for a signal from the steeple of the Old North Church in Boston; one lantern meant that the British were coming by land, two lanterns meant that the British were coming by sea. Two lanterns were shining; this meant that the British were coming by sea. This was the beginning of the American Revolution.
Their plan was to ride borrowed horses from Boston to Lexington, and on to Concord, Massachusetts, to warn the people that the British were coming. Revere became famous for the ride because the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow later wrote a poem called "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere."
