1 Jan 1852 Jahr - Uncle Tom's Cabin

Beschreibung:

Written by Harriet Stowe, Uncle Tom's Cabin touched the hearts of many. It sold 310,000 copies in the United States and double that many in Britain. This prompted 560,000 English women to sign a petition against slavery. The book started a discussion on race and slavery, and caused the North to protest against the Fugative Slave Act and the law became like a dead letter.
