A Reply to "The Affectionate and Christian Address of Many Thousands of Women…" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a chronicle from the 1800s that answers a call from British women to American women about slavery in the United States. Stowe explains the battles being fought against slavery in America, focusing on how Christianity and basic human kindness motivates those working to end it. The book begins as a conversation of ethical importance, and goes on by explaining how British women sent this message with over 500,000 signatures in support of ending slavery to women in America, while articulating the feelings of those taking a stand within The United States since that message was received. Stowe shows the dedication of American women to take action as a response to tensions and the pain of war, while also exploring the implications of British support of slavery. This creates a story of moral belief and activism in a turning point for American history.
