From the Paper:

"Harriet Beecher Stowe has a historical link to the politics of slavery. Through her regionalist work Palmetto Leaves she gives an artful yet impassioned plea for the education and equality of freedmen. In the work she examines life and state-building in Florida. Her personal style of describing events and purpose through the everyday events of her surroundings come out in the book. Stowe preaches an early minimalist ideal of taking personal and collective responsibility for ones life, surroundings and desires are also expressed."
