	Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe (1811 - 1896) - Find A Grave Memorial (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," an antislavery novel of such power that it is cited among the causes of the American Civil War, Harriet Beecher Stowe was also an advocate of women's rights, religious tolerance, and educational reform.

	A Buddhist response to Uncle Tom's Cabin: Christian dualism is at the heart of the problem
		In Roger and Hammerstein's retelling of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the wife of the King of Siam adapts Harriet Beecher Stowe's story to an Eastern perspective, seemingly changing the religion at its core from Christianity to Buddhism by replacing Jesus with Buddha.
		Tom is a near perfect parallel to Jesus; beyond human concerns, his sights are on Heaven and on saving others so that they, too, will make it there instead of falling into Satan's grip and being pulled down to Hell.
		If Tom can also be considered a parent-figure for George, it seems particularly important that it is "kneeling on the grave of his poor friend" that the young master declares before God that "from this hour, [he] will do what one man can to drive out this curse of slavery from [his] land" (365).
