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).
