B. It led to the development of the Underground Railroad.
OC. It exposed the evils and cruelty of slavery.

Answer 1

C. It exposed the evils and cruelty of slavery.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel dramatized the brutal realities of slavery, swayed public opinion in the North, and energized the abolitionist movement—rather than directly calling for immediate emancipation as a political program, creating the Underground Railroad, or causing a slave revolt.
