Uncle's Tom Cabin

'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' published in 1852, is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. The story follows the lives of several enslaved African Americans, primarily Uncle Tom, as they navigate the harsh realities of slavery in the United States. Stowe wrote the novel as a response to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and intended to portray the immorality of slavery. The book had a profound impact on American public opinion and is often credited with helping to galvanize the abolitionist movement.
