Book Review of Uncle Tom's Cabin

Uncle Tom's Cabin
simplicity avatar reviewed on + 33 more book reviews


Even though this is a novel, it sheds some very revealing and shocking details about American slavery. Abraham Lincoln said to the author, Harriet Beecher Stowe...."so your the little lady who started the great war". There are some very tough things to read in this book, but probably the most distrubing is that babies and children were seperated from their mama's and sold to other slave owner's. It was more than I could handle emotionally at times.
