∙ 11y agoUncle Tom's Cabin is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War." The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following The Bible. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States and one million copies were sold in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day.
The key characters are:
Uncle Tom
Uncle Tom, the title character, is seen as a noble, long-suffering Christian slave.
Eliza
Eliza is a slave and personal maid to Mrs. Shelby who escapes to the North with her five-year old son Harry after he is sold to Mr. Haley.
Eva
Evangeline St. Clare is the daughter of Augustine St. Clare. Eva enters the narrative when Uncle Tom is traveling via steamship to New Orleans to be sold, and he rescues the 5 or 6 year-old girl from drowning. Eva begs her father to buy Tom, and he becomes the head coachman at the St. Clare house.
Simon Legree
Simon Legree is a cruel slave owner-a Northerner by birth-whose name has become synonymous with greed. He is arguably the novel's main antagonist. His goal is to demoralize Tom and break him of his religious faith; he eventually orders Tom whipped to death out of frustration for his slave's unbreakable belief in God.
There are a number of secondary and minor characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin.
