Explanation:

Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel by abolitionist writer Harriet Beecher Stowe. The novel was first published in sequels in the National Era magazine, and was published in its entirety for the first time on March 20, 1852. Just one year after its release, it sold over 300,000 copies across the United States and over 2 million copies worldwide. It has been translated into at least twenty-three languages and has been a great success, but it has also been fiercely attacked in the "slave-owning South" of the United States. According to many sources, this novel is one of the reasons why the Civil War broke out.

Although one character is highlighted in the title of the novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin actually deals with two stories, whose protagonists are two blacks - Tom and George Harris, who are trying to resist the dehumanization imposed by slavery. At the beginning of the novel, the families of both main characters are affected by the same accident - their members will be sold to other slave owners. In this way, Harriet Beecher Stowe shows how slavery tore apart families and the bonds between parents and children, husband and wife, which for her is one of the most terrible consequences of slavery. While the story of George Harris follows the separation of a family and the difficulties that lead to reunion, the final reunion, Uncle Tom's story represents his sacrifice and peaceful acceptance of all the adversities that befell him.
