many cases, were treated with less respect than the family dog. Nonetheless, most northerners did not know this. When white northerners wouldcome down to see how the slaves were being treated, the plantation owners would put on a show (the plantation myth) for thenortherners, pretending that the slaves were treated well, not beaten, and were living good lives. For the most part, Brent wrote this book to try and show northern whites what was really happening to the slaves in the south and to convince them that slavery was wrong and that something should be done to end this horrid institution. She was looking fornorthern women that would recognize that theyhave a duty and an obligation to put a stop to slavery in the south, the trading of slaves in the north, and the recapture of runaway slaves in the north. She not only wanted them to recognize this fact but she wanted them to act upon it and to take into their own hands the duty of putting a stop to the demoralizing, destructive way of life known as slavery. This way of life tainted all who took part in it with the horrid stench of evil. This evil stench of slavery was found both on the involuntary members of slavery and, most of all, the voluntary proprietors of the barbaric ritual known as slavery. "O, what days and nights of fear and sorrowthat man caused me! Reader, it is not to awaken sympathy for myself that I am telling you truthfully what I suffered inslavery. I do it to kindle a flame of comphiion in your hearts for my sisters who are still in bondage, suffering as I once suffered." As represented above, Brent deemed it necessary to gain emotional support from her reader. She did this by writing in a way that allowed the readerto be drawninto acquiring a hiling of sympathy for both her and, as she states, her sisters in bondage. She tries to kindle in her readers aflame of phiion that will be forever lit and slowly spread throughout the north. This flame that Brent wished to enlighten in the north, in accordance to her wishes, would put an end to the demoralizing institution of slavery. Without understanding the background and history ofthis time period, one cannot expect to draw nearly as much out of this story as someone else who knows thesocial, political, and cultural history that enveloped the world of slavery during this time.A great example as to how important it is to know the social, political, and cultural history when understanding the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne can be seen by looking at the beliefs of Hawthorne, and many others, during the time his stories were written. Hawthorne was a transcendentalist for much of his life, though much of the rest of his ancestors were Puritan. Understanding these beliefs and ways of life makes it possible to understand where Hawthorne is coming from. Being a transcendentalist, Hawthorne believed in nature, the oversoul, self- reliance and non- conformity, intuition, social reform and in being idealistic and optimistic. However, his writing style doesnot really show this. Hawthorne wrote in the same time period asLinda Brent, but his writing style was tremendously differentand more individual, while showing an extreme preoccupation with secrets, guilt, and sin.No one is really sure as to why he wrote with such supernatural and dark imagination butsome say that it had to do with his hilings towards his ancestors. this is another place where knowledge and understanding of Hawthorne's past could help the reader understand what he was really trying to say. Many of Hawthorne's ancestors .
