Whose book did Southerners want banned because of its anti-slavery message?

Question

Harriet Tubman's

Sojourner Truth's

Harriet Beecher Stowe's

Henry David Thoreau's

Answer 1

Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

"Although Uncle Tom’s Cabin earned much acclaim, it also has had its detractors. It was banned as abolitionist propaganda in the South, and a number of pro-slavery writers responded with so-called “Anti-Tom literature.” These novels portrayed slavery from the southern point of view, in an attempt to show that Stowe exaggerated her depiction of slavery’s evils. Southerners blamed Stowe's "inaccurate" interpretation on the fact that she never had set foot in the South. Stowe responded in 1853 with A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a collection of slave narratives, newspaper clippings, and other facts that verified the details in her novel."

"When Uncle Tom's Cabin first appeared, it was roundly criticized by Southern slave owners and others who supported slavery (see the Anti-Tom literature section below), getting banned in the South as anti-slavery propaganda.[14] In more recent years, readers have criticized the book for what is seen as condescending racist descriptions of the book's black characters, especially with regard to the character's appearance, speech, and behavior and the passive nature of Uncle Tom in accepting his fate."

Answer 2

Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin probably. I didn't know that Harriet Tubman or Sojourner Truth wrote books. And Thoreau was lots of transcendentalism that wouldn't have bothered southerners as much as anti-slavery.

Answer 7

It's a bit vague - which "Southerners" are we talking about and when? But Uncle Tom's Cabin probably fired some ante-bellum southerners pretty good.
