Abstract
Harriet Wilson's Our Nig (1859), which has been taken to be a response to Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), has more in common with Stowe's The Minister's Wooing (1859). A reimagining of the lines of influence demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of Stowe's appreciation of the free black experience in New England.
