4. Myth: If my heart rate is normal, my blood pressure is fine. Sometimes your heart rate and your blood pressure go hand in hand. For example, when you exercise, or get angry or scared, they both go up. But they're not always linked. If your heart rate is normal, your blood pressure may not be.
In A Nutshell. Harriet Beecher Stowe âs inspiration for Uncle Tomâs Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly was the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which made aiding or assisting runaway slaves a crime in free states. Uncle Tomâs Cabin, which was first published in 1852, is thus a deliberate and carefully written anti-slavery argument. Sure, itâs a novel, but donât forget that itâs also a sermon intended to convince a Christian audience that slavery is an evil institution and must be destroyed.
The book, published in May 1853, sold 150,000 copies in the U.S. in its first year. The wake of Uncle Tom's Cabin was wide, and in it everyone wanted to see and hear from the woman who wrote the tome. In March of 1853, Harriet Beecher Stowe traveled to England and Europe on what purported to be a speaking tour.
