Authors Slavery Positions

The issue of slavery in the nineteenth century produced an overwhelming issue in society. There were some writers that favored slavery and then there were some that did not favor slavery. In favor of slavery were William Gillmore Simms, and Caroline Hentz. Those opposed to slavery were Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry David Thoreau, and Herman Melville. All of these writers presented their views of slavery in the their literary works. William Simms was a supporter of slavery and this evident in his novel, "Woodcraft." This novel takes place in the south during the closing of the Revolutionary War. Simms was born in Charleston, South Carolina, so he was raised on the souths' position of pro-slavery. In Simms novel Woodcraft, he states, " Exhaustion not wisdom, or a better state of feeling, was the secret of the peace which was finally concluded between the two nations (America and Great Britain), and of which, South Carolina, and Charleston in particular, was eagerly expecting the benefits.

Auld teaches young Douglass how to read and write, but she then as to stop due to her husbands' request, cause he believes slaves should not hold such attributes. " Harriet Beecher Stowe opened a lot of eyes about the life that slaves endured and she helped start the Civil War sooner that it would have probably started. " (Simms 35,36) Great Britain was taking slaves from America to use for their sugar estates. Melville did not believe in slavery and in his writings he tries to perceive that people of color are no different than from whites.
