Biography

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was a leading revivalist during the Second Great Awakening, a religious movement that swept through Protestant churches in the early 1800s. He was a strong advocate for social reform and helped establish many organizations focused on education, temperance (anti-alcohol), and spreading Christianity. Seven of his sons became ministers including Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and his daughters, Harriet Elizabeth Beecher Stowe (author of Uncle Tom's Cabin) and Isabella Beecher Hooker (suffragist), were prominent social activists^1,2
