Editorial Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin
Published in 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin brought the abolitionists' message to the public conscience - no woman before or since has so moved America to take action against an injustice. Indeed, Abraham Lincoln greeted Stowe in 1863 as "the little lady who made this big war."
Eliza Harris, a slave whose child is to be sold, escapes her beloved home on the Shelby plantation in Kentucky and heads North, eluding the hired slave catchers. Aided by the underground railroad, Quakers, and others opposed to the Fugitive Slave Act, Eliza, her son, and her husband George run toward Canada.
As the Harrises flee to freedom, another slave, Uncle Tom, is sent "down the river" for sale. Too loyal to abuse his master's trust, too Christian to rebel, Tom wrenches himself from his family. Befriending a white child, Evangeline St. Clare, Tom is purchased by her father and taken to their home in New Orleans. Although Evangeline's father finally resolves to free his slaves, his sudden death places him in the ranks of those who mean well by their slaves but never take action. Tom is sent farther downriver to Simon Legree's plantation, and the whips of Legree's overseers.

Customer Reviews of Uncle Tom's Cabin
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: It is still a Treasure 150 years later.
Review: This book seems quite modern in its style and content. I have heard that it was the best selling novel by an American author in the 19th century. The book was written and distributed before the civil war occurred and was read by Northerners and Southerners alike, also by Europeans. Many of the characters seem like stereotypes but It is written for the thinking person. Many of the problems of families of undocumented workers and the people that help them are being faced or ignored by society and government today. Today it is hard to imagine a slave child being sold and separated from his mother, but it is not so hard to imagine the desperate mother going to extraordinary measures to protect her child.
