What important literary work attempted to show the evils of slavery?

English

DENIUS [597]4 years ago
0 0
I think that the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or Life of the Lowly by Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852 by this confirmed abolitionist was an important literary work that clearly showed the evils of slavery and it was popular and sold 300,000 copies when it first came out. It is said by some, including Abraham Lincoln that this book helped set the stage for the American Civil War against slavery. It is a fact that even just one person who speaks up  against injustice or something which is morally wrong can have a big impact on the world, In the 1980's, the Air Show in British Columbia, Canada invited some Chilean pilots to perform at the show. Personally, I thought this was totally wrong to glorify pilots who were part of General Pinochet's criminal military apparatus responsible for the killing of 1000's of Chileans after the coup against Allende. I wrote a letter to the editor opposing this invitation and another ex-Canadian military man read it and agreed with me and put pressure on the Air Show to stop it and so the Chileans were not invited anymore.

In 1869, the Fifteenth Amendment prohibited government from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's "race, color, or previous condition of servitude". Ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the right to vote in time to participate in the Presidential election of 1920.The Twenty-sixth Amendment, ratified in 1971, required all states to set a voting age no higher than eighteen. District of Columbia citizens had voting rights removed in 1801 by Congress, when Congress took control of that portion of Maryland. Congress incrementally removed effective local control or home rule by 1871. It restored some home rule in 1971, but maintained the authority to override any local laws. Washington, D.C., does not have full representation in the U.S. House or Senate. The Twenty-third Amendment, restoring U.S. Presidential Election after a 164-year-gap, is the only known limit to Congressional "exclusive legislature" from Article I-8-17, forcing Congress to enforce for the first time Amendments 14,15,19, 24, and 26. Amendment 23 gave the District of Columbia three electors and hence the right to vote for President, but not full U.S. Congressmembers nor U.S. Senators. In 1978, Congress proposed a constitutional amendment that would have restored to the District a full seat for representation in the Congress as well. This amendment failed to receive ratification by sufficient number of states within the seven years required.
