Uncle Toom's Cabin, By Harriet Tubman

I have many thoughts and opinions on the Civil War. First of all, the civil war was a fight between North and South. This was also called Union versus The Confederacy. I am personally glad the Union won the war. If this had not happened this would have been a bloodier war the later we got into technology. For instance, the technology would have been bigger and America would have had a bigger population causing way more deaths in the process of the war. The fact that slaves could walk free after the war was great. The only problem was that they did not get treated as well as the white men did after the war. This did not happen until the Civil Rights Movement.

The Civil War affected both England and France, economically by taking out a trading partner of both countries, by challenging their morals because neither wanted to support slavery, and politically because England and France wanted a weaker United States.

It influenced social reform movements because it was originally a religious movement where it emphasized on faith in which it later influenced those concerning about temperance, education, women's rights, and abolition throughout the country when they decided to change their religions.

I have recently read the magnificent book “Uncle Tom 's Cabin” which was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This truly beautiful piece of literature was inspiring while filled with the gut-wrenching truth about the sin we call slavery. As I read I was filled with more and more hatred towards the cruel slave owners of our country and couldn’t put it down. I am sickened every time one of my patients speaks of slavery as if it is a wonderful holy thing benefitting our stupid stupid country. We as a nation need to have a peaceful anti slavery group in our government. I believe that violence is not the answer to our many problems, with violence comes misfortune and death. Though good things can emerge from the mess violence causes peace is the way we should try to achieve things. I know that despite all good efforts peace will be destroyed and violence will lead the way into the next century, however good or bad it may be.

Much like the purpose of Thomas Paine’s pamphlet titled Common Sense, the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe was written for the purpose of spreading the message that racism against the blacks and slavery had to stop. This book, based on real people and factual evidence is considered by many to be the event that started the Civil War in America between the North and the South. This was the piece of information that opened the eyes of a nation who claimed that they did not know that the racism and slavery issue went so far.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in Litchfield, Connecticut on june 14, 1811. Harriet Beecher Stowe had was the sixth out of 13 kids"Harriet Beecher Stowe.”.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was born in June 14, 1811 in Lichfield, CT and was the sixth of her family’s eleven children. Beecher’s parents taught their children that their primary life goal was to make their mark. All seven sons became ministers, Isabella (the youngest) founded the National Women’s Suffrage Association, and Harriet revealed the horrifying truths and dissolved the social injustice of slavery. During her 85 years Beecher published thirty novels, but her bestselling book Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe 's Life) is what penned her name into the pages of history.

In the 1800’s,a horrible sin of slavery took America by storm. Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. They were sold like animals, separated from their families, and forced to work for wealthy white men. They underwent torture, famine, and verbal abuse, the sole reason for their mistreatment being their skin color. Movements were made, protests held, but what no one was expecting was a short white lady by the name of Harriet Beecher Stowe to make the change that no one had yet achieved.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin, one of the best classic novels by Harriet Beecher Stowe takes place in Kentucky on Mr. Shelby’s land. In Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the author communicates to the reader the horrific actions and aftermaths of slavery. She does this by telling the story of slaves who were sold to unpleasant masters, showing slavery rips apart families and loved ones, and by showing how children - both free and slave - are affected by slavery.

Harriet Beecher Stowe tells the story of slaves from Kentucky and Louisiana, but escapes to Ohio and other Quaker settlements in the north, that finally makes them end up in Canada. Uncle Tom, whom at the begging is pro-slavery experiences a more cruel and harsh environment by a slave owner that made him have a sudden change of heart. He went from being the one who would withhold slaves for his own good, to helping them escape so that they could have the chance for a better life. Once Uncle Tom started questioning his religion and faith, who knew then that, the risk he was taking was for the greater good. Uncle Tom was one of the most known nation wide names, and because he was a slave owner who freed slaves in a time you couldn’t, he revealed a major sign of hope in America, and a key story that helped free slaves in America.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a type of slave narrative/ abolitionist literature that showed the cruelty slaves were exposed to. In this book we see how she describes the challenges they went through which she believes will help people see that slavery is wrong. There are some examples of the “evils” of slavery that show this. Harriet Beecher Stowe also shows how dishonorable slaveholders may become because of it. Thus this response to the “Fugitive Slave Act 1850” is important in many aspects.

Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe was a famous author and abolitionist from America that wrote the famous novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This book supposedly depicted the life of an average African-American slave from the southern states of America. It was very popular during the 1800s and reached a wide audience as a play and a novel in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. This novel angered many of the Southerner’s because she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin without the proper knowledge of slavery. She was not raised in the South and wrote the novel based solely on what she knew of slavery by the North’s description of it. Although it angered many people in the South, it fueled the Northerner’s passion of the antislavery movement even

The story was written in the 1850’s, around the time of the American Civil War. The inspiration of the novel is an autobiography by Joseph Henson, a former slave who had escaped to Canada.

For generations students have been taught an over-simplified version of the civil war and even now I am just coming to a full understanding of the truth. The civil war was a terrible rift in our nation, fought between the northern states (known as the union) and the southern states (the Confederate States of America). The people’s opinions were so divided over the issues of the civil war that, in some families, brother was pit against brother. Eventually, the south succumbed to the north and surrendered on April 9th, 1865 but not before the war had caused 618,000 deaths, more than any other war in U.S. history.(1) In truth, many believe this horrible war was fought purely over the issue of slavery. Nothing could be further from the

Over a hundred years have passed since Harriet Beecher Stowe first published Uncle Tom’s Cabin and it is still one of the most discussed, criticized, and analyzed novels of its time. Published in 1852, the novel is described as an anti-slavery melodrama that focuses on the sufferings and realities of slavery, while also illustrating how Christianity can overcome the evils of slavery and the destructions that it brings to human beings. The novel follows the life of Uncle Tom, and the characters around him, to educate readers from the north about the cruelty of slavery happening in the southern states. Stowe, who was an active abolitionist and Christian, placed many of her beliefs of Christianity in her novel with the use of her characters, such as Uncle Tom and Evangeline St. Clare, as well as pitting slavery against Christianity. Believing that by being a good Christian would help end the oppression of slavery.
