Although many ideas in Uncle Tom’s Cabin are important, the most enduring and significant is that of the evil of slavery. Stowe’s focus on the need to eradicate slavery comes from her heard multiple stories of the sexual exploitation of slaves, and she fought against this in Uncle Tom’s
Cabin. In fact, as Reynolds notes, Stowe’s aunt, Mary Foote, once married a Jamaican planter, but when she discovered that he had “sired several of his slaves,” she left him and returned to
America (Reynolds 59). This and many more events and stories in themselves provided Stowe with adequate motivation to fight slavery, and she thus combated it by directly and indirectly criticizing the injustice of the slave practiced of her times.
