''The National Era'' was an abolitionist newspaper that ran from 1847 to 1860. Published weekly in Washington D.C., it contained seven columns and was four pages long. ''The National Era'' was noted for its large size and unique type. It featured the works of John Greenleaf Whittier who served as the associated editor〔 and the first publication, as a serial, of Harriet Beecher Stowe's ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' (1851). ''The National Era Prospectus'' stated in 1847: =="The Soft Answer"== Two months after the establishment of ''The National Era'', "The Soft Answer" was published on its back page by T.S. Arthur. The short story was based off a business disagreement between two former friends, Mr. Singleton and Mr. Williams, set to be mediated by a Lawyer named Mr. Trueman. After receiving an unacceptable settlement offer from Williams, Singleton prepares an angry reply, only to be dissuaded from sending it by his lawyer. Singleton instead assents to signing a far more tactful and conciliatory reply composed by Trueman.〔.http://ehis.ebscohost.com.navigator-millersville.passhe.edu/ehost/pdfviewer/pdfviewer?sid=9dbed592-0069-49db-81db-dc29e5c616c9%40sessionmgr115&vid=4&hid=104| Academic Journal by Jarad Krywicki〕 This tactful and conciliatory reply which reconciled two former friends is what is now known as The Soft Answer.
