Stowe is the name shared by an ancient village, country house and school (Stowe School) in Buckinghamshire in England.
In the early 17th century, the manor of Stowe was completely rebuilt by Sir Richard Temple, from the old medieval stronghold to what is now the core of the impressive mansion for which the area is known today.
Earl Temple of Stowe is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
Stowe's religious and moral education progressed as well, and at the age of thirteen, she confessed to her father that she had experienced conversion after one of his sermons.
Stowe's antislavery convictions were originally inspired by her father's evangelical Christian beliefs in human equality, but were brought to fruition especially by the move to Cincinnati, where Stowe was able to witness closely the brutality and pathos of the slave system and the increasingly violent clashes between abolitionist and pro-slavery factions.
Stowe did not side absolutely with the abolitionists, but rather felt that the Southern slave owners too were victims of the system and had to be peacefully extricated from their ownership of other humans.
