 Professor Brophy's Law Review Article
Similarly, in her second antislavery novel, Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp, Stowe addressed in detail the separation between feelings of humanity and law; she asked why a fictional judge, who recognized the inhumanity of the slave law and opposed slavery in private, failed to reform the law.
The novel addresses a fundamental struggle in the American intellect between the impassioned, religiously inspired ideas of the heart and the cold, logical response of the head--in other terms, the debate between evangelical religion and conservative legal thought.
Because the South responded to Stowe's criticisms--and because the South's perception of Northern threats to slavery was at least as important in leading the country to Civil War as were actual threats to slavery made by Lincoln in the winter of 1860--it is important to examine how Southerners responded to Stowe.
