Why did the white southerners resent Uncle Tom's Cabin?

Answer 1

One reason that the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin infuriated people in the South was that southerners felt that it was an inaccurate depiction of Southern life (Stowe had never been to a Southern plantation).

Answer 2

White Southerners resented "Uncle Tom's Cabin" because it portrayed the harsh realities of slavery and depicted black characters as sympathetic and virtuous, challenging the pro-slavery narrative of the time. The novel's widespread popularity also contributed to its impact, leading to heightened tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery.

Answer 3

The reactions to Uncle Tom's Cabin angered the white southerners. The south did not want to lose the slaves, as they provided both free work and lots of work. The abolitionists and the people of the north formed a defensive feeling toward the slaves after reading Uncle Tom's Cabin. The south was angered by the sympathy Uncle Tom's Cabin stirred in its readers.

Answer 4

It whipped-up Abolitionist feeling in the North, and encouraged the Underground Railroad (safe-houses for runaways).

Answer 5

Because it recruited many new people to the cause of Abolitionism, and encouraged the use of the Underground Railroad, the safe-house system that smuggled slaves into Canada.
