Aunt Phillis's Cabin: Or Southern Life As It Is is a book written by Mary Henderson Eastman and published in 1852. The book is a fictional account of life on a Southern plantation before the American Civil War. The story is told through the eyes of the plantation owner's daughter, who is visiting her aunt's cabin on the property. The book provides a detailed description of the daily life of slaves on the plantation, their living conditions, and the relationships between slaves and their owners. It also explores the attitudes of white Southerners towards slavery and the ways in which they justified its existence. The book is notable for its sympathetic portrayal of slaves and its criticism of the institution of slavery. It is considered an important work in the abolitionist movement and a significant contribution to American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
