Why are there three different plantations with the same character in Uncle Tom's Cabin?

It depends on the character you're talking about. If you're talking about Uncle Tom, there's an easy answer. Uncle Tom was first on the Shelby plantation. After Mr. Shelby was forced to sell Tom, he was sold to Augustine St. Clare's plantation. After St. Clare died, his slaves were sold and Simon Legree bought Tom for his plantation. In summary, Tom was bought and sold so that he worked on three different plantations during his life.
