Pamela | 2209 comments Nathaniel Hawthorne. He added a W to his last name because he was ashamed of his family's connection to the Salem Witch Trials. His great-great grandfather was a judge at the trials.

Pamela | 2209 comments Here's my question:

Name the Massachusetts journalist who was a prominent abolitionist and is best known for his widely-read anti-slavery newspaper. He was one of the founders of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
