Although in truth abolitionists and feminists have never been hand in hand. There were two sects of abolitionists; the American Anti-Slavery Society, which favored women in leadership positions, and the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society: which opposed women in leadership. “…Feminism called for an expansion of freedom rather than a redefinition of the idea.” (Foner 459) This is where feminism and slavery differed, while whites and blacks had separate ideas of feminism and slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe managed to spread her abolitionist and feminist message through the novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin”. It does this by showing women as morally righteous, men as their more aggressive counterparts (in contrast to the wife who is the supposed counterpart), and creating a well-rounded Christian martyr of a slave hero who transcended races, Uncle Tom . Legree's demonically evil ways also play an important role in shaping the book's ending along the lines of traditional Christian Christianity.
