Sometimes it takes a specific incident to make a person be aware of what needs to be done by one of God's children on this earth. Harriet Beecher Stowe was a preacher's child, the mother of seven children and a writer living in Cincinnati.
Then she made a visit to Kentucky to visit a friend who lived on a plantation and she saw something that would make her blood boil! In the space of an afternoon, she witnessed the terrible sight of a slave auction for the very first time. She could not forget the scene. She could not forget watching slave mothers being sold away from their children. She could not imagine the depth of her own pain if she had been that mother!
