I believe Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Robert E. Lee was the head General of the Confederates. Grant the Union head General; Jefferson Davis, I believe was the Confederate President, Lincoln the Union's.  Sojourner Truth was like a Harriet Tubman, she was one of the first women involved in the Underground Railroad and spoke out against slavery (I believe).  Don't know about Mat Turner. John Brown was an extreme abolitionist who was notorious for the massacre at, I believe, Harper's Ferry where they seized munitions for the slaves to rebel against; he was eventually hung.  Harriet Tubman was a black woman fighting slavery through the Underground Railroad, leading escaped slaves to the Canada/Vermont area.  Clara Burton did something, but I can't remember (go to wikipedia and look her up). John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln while in a theater.  And I don't know who Mary Chesnat is either, but you can wikipedia her as well.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is pretty good; there is some under-stated humor and lots of juicy stuff for essays. It has the best definition of courage I've ever read, too.

Don't know what you like nor how old you are.  Try "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.  Or "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck.\n\nOr read a book that you've already seen and liked as a movie - if you aren't accustomed to reading, this is a good way to ease into the habit.  "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornsby might be such a book for you.

The correct answer is Nathaniel Hawthorne who wrote The Scarlet Letter, a story of a young girl accused of adultry and forced to wear a scarlet letter "A" so everyone would know her sin. I remember reading the book in high school as part of a required reading program. A long time ago.

To Kill a Mockingbird.\nAtticus Finch is a lawyer in a racially divided Alabama town in the 1930s. He agrees to defend a young black man who is accused of raping a white woman. Many of the townspeople try to get Atticus to pull out of the trial, but he decides to go ahead. \n\nGL\nThe one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box.  As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.  ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird,

From Bookrags  ( http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/SUM.htm ) :\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story of Scout Finch and her brother, Jem, in 1930's Alabama. Through their neighborhood meanderings and the example of their father, they grow to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of their world no matter how subtle it seems.\n\nThe summer when Scout was six and Jem was ten, they met Dill, a little boy who spent the summer with his aunt who lived next door to the Finches. Dill and Jem become obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley, the neighborhood recluse, come out of his home. They go through plan after plan, but nothing draws him out. However, these brushes with the neighborhood ghost result in a tentative friendship over time and soon the Finch children realize that Boo Radley deserves to live in peace, so they leave him alone.\n\nScout and Jem's God-like father, Atticus, is a respected and upstanding lawyer in small Maycomb County. When he takes on a case that pits innocent, black Tom Robinson against two dishonest white people, Atticus knows that he will lose, but he has to defend the man or he can't live with himself. The case is the biggest thing to hit Maycomb County in years and it turns the whole town against Atticus, or so it seems. Scout and Jem are forced to bear the slurs against their father and watch with shock and disillusionment as their fellow townspeople convict an obviously innocent man because of his race. The only real enemy that Atticus made during the case was Bob Ewell, the trashy white man who accused Tom Robinson of raping his daughter. Despite Ewell's vow to avenge himself against Atticus, Atticus doesn't view Ewell as any real threat.\n\nTom Robinson is sent to a work prison to await another trial, but before Atticus can get him to court again, Tom is shot for trying to escape the prison. It seems that the case is finally over and life returns to normal until Halloween night. On the way home from a pageant, Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout in the darkness. After Jem's arm is badly broken, their ghostly neighbor, Boo Radley, rescues Scout and her brother. In order to protect Boo's privacy, the sheriff decides that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife while he was struggling with Jem. Boo Radley returns home never to be seen again.\n\nThrough the events of those two years, Scout learns that no matter their differences or peculiarities, the people of the world and of Maycomb County are all people. No one is lesser or better than anyone else because they're all people. She realizes that once you get to know them, most people are good and kind no matter what they seem like on the outside.

I sure did!!\n\nIt was one of my favorite books when I was younger.\n\nRoll of Thunder is part of a trilogy surrounding the Logan family (other two books are Let the Circle Be Unbroken and The Road to Memphis) The protagonist is Cassie Logan and this is a basically a coming of age story set against the backdrop of what would be impending social change (i.e. the Civil Rights Movement) because the novella takes place in the 1930s.\n\nAnyway, to answer your first question, the location did matter. Mississppi, along with Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina are commonly referred to as the Deep South. In this region, racism and segregation were more blatant through the enactment of laws known as Jim Crow. It was also in this region (though really everywhere) that civil liberties of African Americans were violated and extreme antagonistic actions were taken against them (kidnappings, lynchings, etc.) by such groups like the Klu Klux Klan.\n\nThis is important because the Logan family actually owned land (a farm) in Mississippi. Property rights were so important to African Americans because they were denied for some time. Because of this, there was great pride in the Logan family; Cassie actually lived a pretty sheltered existence.\n\nYou have read the book so you know about the events that happen throughout the plot. It were those events that causes Cassie to sober up about what was happening to the idyllic world she once knew as social tensions began to escalate.\n\nThis book is actually a reflection of Mildred D. Taylor's personal experiences growing up during this time in America that proceded what was commonly referred to as the Civil Rights Movement (although in all actuality the Civil Rights Movement began FAR before 1955). She is actually from Mississppi, so that would be another reason for the location.\n\nYou can also go to Amazon.com and read their plot summary as well as Wikipedia to read Mildred D. Taylor's biography. Good luck!
