Uncle  Tom's  Cabin 
by  Harriet  Beecher  Stowe  (18H-1896) 

Harriet  Beecher  Stowe  was  a  Connecticut-born 
teacher  at  the  Hartford  Female  Academy  and  an 
active  abolitionist.  Her  ground-breaking  novel 
Uncle  Tom's  Cabin;  or,  Life  Among  the  Lowly  treats 
slavery  as  a  central  theme,  and  had  a  profound 
effect  on  the  North's  view  of  slavery.  First 
published  in  1852,  the  story  focuses  on  the  tale  of 
Uncle  Tom,  a  long-suffering  black  slave,  the  central 
character  around  whose  life  the  other  characters — 
both  fellow  slaves  and  slave  owners — revolve.  The  novel  depicts  the  harsh 
reality  of  slavery,  while  also  showing  that  Christian  love  and  faith  can 
overcome  even  something  as  evil  as  enslavement  of  fellow  human  beings.
