問題詳情：

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom's Cabin(小木屋),written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.

As Harriet Beecher Stove wrote her book, there was over 3.5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton-growing states of the south. The Northern States had ended slavery. Yet most Northerners were not strongly against slavery. They did not mind that slavery continued in the South.

Stove decide to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked in her book. She told the owner. She also told how slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom's Cabin first came in 300,000 books were sold out in a year.

People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil(國內的) War, which lasted until 1865，finally brought an end to slavery at last.

Of course, there were many things that made the Civil War happen. Yet Uncle Tom's Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Lincon in Lincoln took her hand, he said: "So you are the woman who started the big war."
