Caroline Lee Hentz
Caroline Lee Hentz (1800–1856) was an American novelist and playwright, known for her pro-slavery and Southern sympathies. She gained popularity in the 19th century for her sentimental novels, especially "The Planter’s Northern Bride" (1854), which was a response to Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Hentz's works often centered on themes of domesticity, Southern culture, and women’s roles in society. Her other notable works include "Linda; or, The Young Pilot of the Belle Creole" and "Marcus Warland, or The Long Moss Spring."
