Question: Both Abraham Lincoln and Harriet Beecher Stowe were influential writers of the Civil War era; and this turbulent time in American history also gave rise to the slave narratives of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Ann Jacobs. After analyzing and researching the writings of Douglass, Jacobs, Lincoln, and Stowe, form a thesis that enables you to address Douglass' and Jacobs' lives as slaves and Lincoln's and Stowe's influences in bringing the institution of slavery to an end. A thesis is one sentence of no more than 25 words, so choose your words carefully because you must address both aspects of this topic in the one thesis. As you explore pertinent contexts, be careful to use appropriate literary, political, and cultural terminology in your writing.
