Incomplete/unclear question. However, I inferred you are referring to Harriet Beecher Stow who fought against slavery in America.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, an ethical dilemma occurs when one struggles to decide between two choices which is the right thing to do or not to do in that particular situation.
In the case of Harriet Stowe who is white, she saw how badly whites blacks in 1833 in Kentucky, and she felt bad about it. So she may have thought, Could she or should she have done something?
When a fugitive slave (runaway slave) sought her help in 1851, it also presented the same ethical dilemma because now she had to make a choice whether to help them or fold her arms and do nothing.
