Uncle Tom's Cabin Critique

Improved Essays
The book I read was Tom Uncle’s Cabin. It was a very interesting sad book. The book was about slavery back then in 1852. This book agrees with how I see the view of the world. For the fact that this world big, but it’s small because you find people that you never met before and now you see them and realize they one of your family member. About reuniting with your family heritage. Everything happens for a reason. I can compare so many things and relate to this book. For example in Uncle Tom 's Cabin, the main person who sell Tom because he was in debt, he came back and did background research. Not only that but he did uncle tom 's cabin funeral. There is two type of people in this world that we are categorized in. The first people is Mr.Shelby, …show more content…
Her name is Harriet Beecher Stowe, she was a white woman who was born on June 14, 1811, Litchfield, CT and she died on July 1, 1896, Hartford, CT. She died at age eighty-five, which to me is a good age to die. The best thing about what she did her whole life was to write so many good books. The total of books that she wrote was over thirty books. The most famous or popular one was Uncle Tom’s Cabin. When she was younger she went to Pierce Academy to be schooled. Her husband was Calvin Ellis Stowe, he was a professor at Lane. They got married in 1836 and in thirteen years laters, she lost her son. It kind of made her separate her husband for a while, last time I researched. Something interesting about her that she grew up to be a minister because her dad was a Lyman Beecher and her mom was Roxanna Foote Beecher, who died when she was younger. Harriet had twelve siblings, seven brothers, and five sisters. She was an agonist and she had a strong belief in abolition. She was very interested in stuff like that and she was religious. Now that I am thinking about it, one of the characters in Uncle Tom 's Cabin, haves her personality. For example, the character is Mrs.Shelby, because she was against slavery and was very Christian. Not only that but she believed that white owners she should be able to trust slaves. Also, her book did a major impact during the time, because it leads other people to see the different for slaves then what they taught before. People think she was the one who lead this war, but her points were to help out those slaves and need. Therefore, that Harriet Beecher Stowe background information and her life event. Not only that but why she wrote books that had to do with slavery. She used her thoughts into doing something she loves to

    The Constitution was created to replace the Articles of Confederation, since the Articles of Confederation granted too little power to the federal government, which caused Shay’s rebellion. Within the Constitution, there are laws that both limit and give power to the federal government and other laws that protected citizen’s natural rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or property. The Constitution that was once the cause of national unity caused the Union to split into two separate sides: the abolitionist North, and the slave-holding South. The reasoning of this is mainly due to the Constitution’s ability to adapt to changes according the circumstances.…

    On Harriet’s tombstone when she died it said “Servant of God, Well done.” I think that this saying says so much about her because she worked her butt off just to help others when she knew she didn’t have to by any means! Harriet showed compassion when she worked her hardest to find a cure for the people dying during the war, and when she was free from slavery but she wanted to keep helping the others who were not free from slavery which risked her life…

    Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, tells the story of a slave trade in Kentucky, during the mid -1800s. The story depicts the inhumane nature in which African American slaves are torn from their families by two Southern white plantation owners. Although slave trading was a common practice in that era, people should realize, it is a cruel and inhumane practice because it is injecting misery into lives of Southern black slaves. Uncle Tom’s Cabin shows the problem with slavery on theological, moral, economic and political levels. While it is true that slave trading was common in the mid-1800s; it is also, theologically and politically incorrect since, God created man in his own image.…
