French critics, Stowe’s book needs a more elegant and expressive approach, and it also effectively conveys Stowe’s antislavery message, yet in a more political way than she had once hoped. Through her abolitionist novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe seeks to inform the French people about the sinful, evil, and prominent nature of slavery and desires to morph their opinions concerning enslavement through various ties to religion; however, she ultimately tugs at their hearts through…

at the time. The ability to make societal change through representation has been a major theme throughout the texts this year.

Southern states saw slavery as a financial gain and a political advantage, Harriet Beecher Stowe uses her novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, published in 1850, to combat the morality of slavery and the Fugitive Slave Act, also established in 1850.

profession. I don’t wonder you reprove me. ” (Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, page 206) These are the words quote from Miss Ophelia, and she is trying to persuade St. Clare to free his slavery. “There Eva - there, dearest! Hush! Hush! I was wrong; I was wicked. I will feel any way, do any way - only don’t distress yourself; don’t sobs.

suddenly one day; many events slowly built up more bitterness between the Confederacy,n and the Union until the commencement of the war on April 12th.

While technically part of the North, Kentucky operated much like any Southern state- meaning of course, that Kentucky still practiced slavery. Thus, within Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, readers do not get much of a glance into the mindset of the abolitionists up North, barring the people who help Eliza and George escape (who are often only around for a couple of chapters at best). In other words, Miss Ophelia is the first proper Northern abolitionist (she comes straight from Vermont…

For example, incidents in the life of a slave girl written by Harriet Ann Jacob and Uncle Tom’s Cabin written by Harriet Beecher Stowe was some of the most important works to expose the reality of slavery. Slavery would probably continue for a much longer period of time if those works were never written. Most people…
