20 März 1852 Jahr - Uncle Tom's Cabin

Beschreibung:

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe which outlines the interactions of a slave and his brutal owner. Stowe's novel changed the perspectives of many Northerners. Northerners now believed that slavery was a crime and should be immediately halted, rather than a practice that would die out eventually.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is significant because it really put the practice of slavery into perspective for Northerners. Further increasing sectionalism, Uncle Tom's Cabin is arguably one of the main causes of the Civil War.

"So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war."
-Abraham Lincoln
