After the Second Great Awakening, preachers like Lyman Beecher, Nathaniel Taylor, and Charles G. Finney had given major impetus to what came later to be called Abolitionist movement in the 19th century, which meant to end the slavery system internationally. It was a social and political push for the immediate emancipation of all slaves and the end of racial discrimination and segregation. The Abolitionist literature had rediscovered African-American writers in the late 18th century such as Phillis Wheatley, to fight against social discrimination. The abolitionist publishers are, however, mainly white people, among them the writer Harriet Beecher Stowe, famous for her Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852).
