"Uncle Tom's Cabin" was banned in a number of Southern states due to its portrayal of slavery and its advocacy for abolition. The book's depiction of the harsh realities of slavery and its influence in shaping public opinion played a significant role in the abolitionist movement.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the work of antislavery abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe. She was determined to strike a blow against the institution of slavery with her pen. The book was in the form of a novel. Stowe did not intend for the book to be an anti-Southern one. She contended as did Abraham Lincoln, that slavery existed with the complicity of Northerners. She placed much blame on the failure of Northerners to act against slavery. Literary critics dismissed the novel as melodramatic. The book however gained notoriety and made religious Northerners feel guilty about the injustices of slavery. The book "charged" the Nation with electricity. It brought Stowe to the attention of Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas.
