Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a powerful anti-slavery novel that ignited social change. Through the experiences of Uncle Tom, Eliza Harris, and others, Stowe vividly depicts the brutality of slavery. This groundbreaking work played a pivotal role in shaping public opinion and inspiring the abolitionist movement.

This volume of essays and short stories by Harriet Beecher Stowe was written under the pseudonym Christopher Crowfield. As with many women of her time, Stowe took on a male pseudonym in order to make her work more acceptable to male dominated literary outlets, such as the Atlantic Monthly, where these works were originally published. Focusing on the domestic American household of the 1860s, the short pieces comment on the changes wrought by the Civil War. The wartime economic boom brought inexpensive consumer goods to more households. What was once a homey, comfortable parlor, the center of family activity, became a showplace, locked up like a museum. Simple home life became more complex. And Stowe, alias Crowfield, with her precise eye for social phenomena, found this domestic change worth chronicling.

A stark depiction of the brutal realities of slavery in the United States.

Uncle Tom's Cabin describes the story of Uncle Tom, an enslaved person portrayed as innocent and honorable, respectable and ethical in his beliefs. While being shifted by boat to an auction in New Orleans, Tom saves the life of Little Eva, a lovely and forgiving little girl, whose thankful dad then buys Tom. Later, Eva and Tom become great friends. Eva is always in a delicate situation and starts to decline quickly, and on her deathbed, she requests her father to free all his enslaved people. He makes arrangements to do so but then finds out that he is killed by the cruel Simon Legree, Tom's new owner, who has whipped Tom to death when he refuses to tell him about where the slaves escaped. Tom maintains his constant Christian attitude toward his own suffering.

This seminal novel, published in 1852, played a key role in galvanizing public opinion against the institution of slavery in the United States. Through the story of a slave named Tom and his struggles against the brutal realities of his life, Stowe eloquently exposed the inhumanity and injustice of the system, inspiring widespread outrage and ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the American Civil War.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
