The novel showed the reality of slavery and what African-Americans had to go through during this time, and hit people so directly that many believe it to be a major cause of the Civil War.

It is then you can see these students expressing their true feelings, based on emotions, about something they are passionate about. Just as these authors, us students experiencing every emotion before we graduate, use those strong feelings being felt to portray our ideas. (Uncle Tom's
