      Chapter 1: Introduction to Uncle Tom's Cabin

      Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe is an anti slavery novel; it was first published in America in 1852. Uncle Tom’s Cabin is also known as Life among the Lowly. It is believed that this was the novel which paved the way to the revolutionary changes in the American society and it helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War.

      Uncle Tom’s Cabin is regarded as one of the finest piece of fiction in American English Literature.

      Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, was born at the Hartford Female Academy. A teacher and an active social worker; Stowe was also an active abolitionist.

      Uncle Tom, the central character of the story, is a long suffering black slave and the story revolves around him. The stories of the other characters are in one or the other way related to the story of Uncle Tom.

      Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a highly sentimental novel and it descriptively illustrates the harsh reality of slavery through the lives of the characters and how they struggle to overcome the hardships in their lives. On the other hand, the novel also shows that Christian love has the power to overcome this harsh reality and emancipate the poor slaves from their captives. The power of love spread by the Church denounces this destructive enslavement.

      Right from its publication, the book won the praise of one and all and it was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is also asserted that Uncle Tom’s Cabin helped in providing strength to the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.

      It is amazing to note that in the first year of its publication, more than three hundred thousand copies of Uncle Tom’s Cabin were sold in the United States of America and more than one million copies were sold in England. This kind of success was a clear indication to the fact that the times were changing and people were ready to abolish slavery. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called the most popular novel of our day. The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at
