Harriet Beecher Stowe is most known for her novel <em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em>. This book is based on Stowe's knowledge of what slavery is like in the United States during the middle of the 19th century. Even though this was a fictional book, it was based on real tragedies that slaves suffered through during this time. Many Northerners (especially abolitionist) saw this is an accurate depiction of slavery and yet another reason why this institution should be outlawed. On the other hand, Southerners saw this is a wildly inaccurate and misleading book. This shows how this novel caused even more problems between the North and South.
The Texas constitution prohibited the further introduction of slaves into its state and declared all children born thereafter to slaves already in the state to be free at birth.
