Beschreibung:

In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the story "Uncle Tom's Cabin". This story paints a grim picture of the life under slavery. The title character is a pious, passive slave, who is eventually beaten to death by the overseer Simon Degree. Uncle Tom's Cabin played a significant role in the Civil War, as it was the story that brought awareness of slavery to the free states, who never understood the magnitude of the situation before.
