        With his interest in literature, Harriet and Kelvin Stove shared a strong faith in elimination. In 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Das law, indicating crisis and crisis in the abolitionist and free-black communities of the North. Stowey decided to express his feelings through a literary representation of slavery; Josiah base his work on Hansen's life and his own observations.

The book was widely translated and, at times, dramatization (for the first time, in 1852, without the permission of Stave), where it was played for audience capacity. Stovy was excited on England's tour in 1853, and there he made friends with many prominent literary figures.

As a result, the novelist published Lady Byron Windypitted (1870), accusing the dead poet that he violated his marriage pledge by having sex with his sister. Byron was a legend at this time, and as a result of the allegations, Stove suffered a lot of losses to his loyal British audience.
