Uncle Tom's Cabin

Enlarge picture
An illustration of Tom rescuing Eva, taken from the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher. Published between 1851 and 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin was written in support of Abolitionism, the movement against slavery. The novel had a profound impact on public opinion against slavery, and at the time sold more copies than any other book, apart from the Bible.

Best-selling US novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published 1851-52. A sentimental but powerful portrayal of the cruelties of slave life on Southern plantations, it promoted the call for abolition. The heroically loyal slave Uncle Tom has in the 20th century become a byword for black subservience.
