Answer:
"So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war". The quote was spoken by President Abraham Lincoln to Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Explanation:
When Stowe met Abraham Lincoln in 1862, during the Civil War, the greeting of the President was: "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!", in relation to Uncle Tom's Cabin, the book that Harriet Beecher Stowe had published in 1852.
In a period in which slavery had not been abolished, this book represented an easy target of strong and profoundly negative criticism from the opposition sectors, that is, those people who rose in favor of the slave system and against the abolitionist cause.
Historically, the book was written on dates when the United States (along with Brazil) were one of the few countries that continued to admit legal slavery and this book contributed to deepen the debate and expand the consciousness of Americans about the slave system.
