In
Uncle Tom's Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe shared ideas
about the injustices of slavery, pushing back against dominant cultural beliefs
about the physical and emotional capacities of black people. Stowe became a leading voice in the anti-slavery movement,
and yet, her ideas about race were complicated. Uncle Tom's
Cabin tells the story of Uncle Tom, an enslaved person, depicted
as saintly and dignified, noble and steadfast in his beliefs. While being transported by boat to auction in New Orleans,
Tom saves the life of Little Eva, an angelic and forgiving young girl, whose
grateful father then purchases Tom.
