Uncle Tom's Cabin

I have not read the book, but I understand it was written by a Connecticut women. It is about how slaves were treated badly by their masters in pre-civil war south.

I have the same book, I believe, if you are interested in the "Superb Edition." An interesting feature of the edition is that the page numbers follow the same form as the two volume first edition.

The value of the book since it post dates the Civil War is negligible. After all this was the best selling book of the 19th century so there are plenty of editions available. The value of the book is in the engravings. Still even with that I guess that the book could fetch $300.00.

I probably should have stated this at the beginning, but I'm not by any standard an expert in valuing books. However, I have through inheritance received several beautiful books and I've tried to learn about them. Take it for what it's worth.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" provoked strong reactions in the South because it portrayed the cruelty of slavery, challenging the idea that slaves were content and well-treated. Southerners viewed the novel as abolitionist propaganda that threatened their way of life and contributed to the growing tensions over slavery that eventually led to the American Civil War. Many in the South dismissed the book as inaccurate and sensationalized.

Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin," a novel published in 1852 that exposed the harsh realities of slavery and became a key catalyst for the abolitionist movement in the United States. The book had a significant impact on public opinion and helped to shape the course of American history.

Taken from the character "Uncle Tom" from Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin", it became a pejorative term for those who are servile and obedient to their masters, accepting their inferior status. This is despite the selfless actions of the character in the original novel, who refuses to beat other slaves, or to betray those who have escaped.

Because he supported slavery....he was a planter. A planter is a person who supports slavery, or just sells or hold them. Hope it helped!

This best-seller dramatised the slavery issue and atracted many people to the Abolitionist cause, and to helping organise the Underground Railroad.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin moved many Northerners to protest against the horrors of slavery. The stirring moral indictment compelled many Northerners who might have been apathetic about the issue. With that said, Harriet Beecher Stowe blamed the North and the South for slavery.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's writing greatly influenced many people's thoughts on the matter of slavery. Southerners thought her writings to be lies and a way of making southern means of economy look bad. Harriet Beecher Stowe thought her writing was not one sided on the fact of the evils of slavery. She thought she fairly depicted slavery from both points of view of Northerners and Southerners. Little did she know this was not the case. She received hate/threatening mail from angry Southern plantation owners. She once received a slave's ear cut off by his owner as a warning that this would happen to any other slave's if Harriet did not stop writing these lies.

Simon Legree is a fictional character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." He dies at the end of the novel, but no specific date of death is provided as the novel does not focus on the character's death.

Uncle Tom chose not to escape with Eliza because he believed it was not his place to run away from his duties and responsibilities as a slave. He also wanted to remain with his family and trusted that God would guide him through his struggles.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was convinced that the power of education would help convert Americans to her view of the slavery issue. She tried to do that in various passages of her novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. In that manner, she was somewhat unique in her ideas to solve the slavery issue. However, what clearly was a departure from the norm, was her relentless criticism of Northerners and in her mind, their refusal to see that slavery was a national issue whose burden fell as equally to the South as it did to the North. Stowe made many Northerners uncomfortable with her assertion that slavery would not have existed if not for the complicity by which the North diverted attention from themselves by placing total blame of the situation on Southern plantation owners.

The first cabin makers were often referred to as joiners or carpenters. They were skilled craftsmen who constructed cabins and other wooden structures using traditional hand tools and techniques.

The Brunswick Edition of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was published in 1852.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel titled Uncle Tom's Cabin was a highly read publication from the early 1850's that depicted the life of a slave in antebellum America. Stowe made it clear that she held both leaders in the North and the South to blame for the continuing institution of slavery. At the time, slavery existed as far north as Delaware. Ms. Stowe's novel brought public attention to slavery but so did more important events such as the 1850 Missouri Compromise and the 1854 Kansas Nebraska Act along with the Fugitive Slave Act. As an aside,President Lincoln promised to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.
In addition,leading abolitionists from Frederick Douglas to Harriet Beecher Stowe were at odds with her idea that freed slaves should be deported to a new nation. The American Colonization Society, created decades before Ms. Stowe, advocated that a new African nation be the place for deporting freed slaves.
Speaker of the once Speaker o the House of Representatives Henry Clay, a slave owner and Representative Abraham Lincoln were both members of the Whig Party. Clay in fact was Lincoln's mentor. Each of them wrestled with the concept of slavery and the goals of the American Colonization Society. They saw no solution.
Even the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, drafted in the Summer of 1862, had a provision for freedmen deportation to places such as Central America.
The "real" Southern movement did not gain traction until after Lincoln's 1860 presidential election.
Far to much time existed between Stowe's novel and 1860 to have created an atmosphere tied to the April 1861 outbreak of the bombardment of Fort Sumter.
No pundits of the antebellum America era, nor modern day historians have ever put forth the proposition that Ms. Stowe's novel and the US Civil War had any connection.
And, as far as President Lincoln was concerned, he was a Unionist first and an opponent of slavery second. This is one reason the radical wing of the Republican Party believed that Lincoln was not suited to run the war effectively.
