Does literature affect history?

One way literature affected history was before the American Civil War. The book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe caused the start of the American Civil War. Slavery wasn't a big deal until Harriet wrote this book. Abraham Lincoln the 16th president, confronted Harriet about the book. He spoke to her about it and he realized that slavery has to be stopped. The south refused. The Civil War started.

Literature can lead up to conflict or hatred between others, It can cause wars, street fights, and arguments. Literature can give people the right or wrong idea. Positive literature puts people on track to the right side of things. Negative literature would throw them off to believe the wrong thing.

An example of literature affecting history is our current presidency. But, we're not gonna go into detail about that. :)

Firlakuza [10]

This expression "....Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." implies that the people had got closely together - huddled- because they were tired and were yearning for freedom. Therefore, option D. Tired / yearning is the correct one. A. Give / your will not be helpful to infer the context since 'your' by itself conveys no meaning. B) Masses / free refer to the fact that the masses desired to be free , but they do not refer to the reason why the masses had got to be closely together. C) Breathe / me are not giving any hints; to breathe refers to the desire of the masses to be free and 'me' is a pronoum which by itself means nothing in this context.
