Summary
Discusses the controversy surrounding his wife, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Joel Parker that developed after she cited Parker as a pro-slavery preacher in her book Uncle Tom's Cabin. Parker, claiming his statements were misrepresented, threatened to sue for libel, and a scandal began. Two newspapers, the Independent, run by Henry Ward Beecher, her brother, and the Independent, which was pro-slavery newspaper run by Samuel Iraneus Prime, escalated the quarell. Beecher, who was Parker's friend, eventually managed to bring about an amicable end, agreeing that the footnote would be removed from later editions. Stowe blames Samuel Irenaeus Prime for the pain and shame of the controversy.
