More DescriptionUncle Tom's Cabin had a tremendous impact in the pre Civil War anti-slavery movements. The character Uncle Tom is an African American who retains his integrity and refuses to betray his fellow slaves at the cost of his life. His firm Christian principles in the face of his brutal treatment made him a hero to whites.

Because of her work, thousands rallied to the anti-slavery cause.
