More information about Final Jeopardy:
You can find the Stowe obituary at the New York Times Archive.
The quote in the clue refers to her most famous work, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”; the work is generally seen to have fueled the abolitionist cause in the 1850s, and an apocryphal story recounts that Lincoln once told Stowe, on meeting her in 1862, “So this is the little lady who started this great war”. The book’s overarching theme is the evil of slavery; thus, on its publication, defenders of slavery raised significant protest. The protests were so loud that Stowe published “A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin” a few years later, providing documentation for the stories spoken of in the original work. Dozens of anti-“Tom” works were also published by Southerners.
