"Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe was published in 1852, almost a decade before the Civil War began. While it did contribute to the growing tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery, it was not a direct cause of the war itself. The novel helped to raise awareness about the cruelty of slavery and influenced public opinion on the issue.

∙ 11y agoNo, it was a major cause of the war.
It was written as a protest against the Fugitive Slave Act - a deliberately macho gesture in favour of the South, to appease them for the rest of the 1850 Compromise, which was mostly pro-North.
Many Northerners who were not Abolitionists were still greatly offended by the Act, which turned them into unpaid slave-catchers.
There is a very believable anecdote that Lincoln met the author and said "So you're the little lady who started this big war", though that story is now discredited.
