It dramatised the effects of the Fugitive Slave Act, whereby the general public was ordered to report anyone who looked as though they might be a runaway slave, on pain of a heavy fine.

This offended many people who had not been very interested in slavery up till then, and drew them into the Abolitionist camp. Soon the Underground Railroad was in operation, smuggling slaves to freedom in Canada.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" had a significant impact on Northerners by raising awareness about the horrors of slavery and humanizing enslaved people. It helped to strengthen antislavery sentiments in the North and mobilized many to join the abolitionist cause and fuel the growing tensions between the North and the South over the issue of slavery.

Pressure to abolish slavery altogether increased on President Lincoln after Uncle Tom's Cabin was released. His original intention had been simply to stop the spread of slavery to the west.
