Uncle Tom's Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly, is the famous abolitionist novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe that helped shape public opinion on slavery in nineteenth-century America. It achieved wide popularity, particularly among white readers in the North, by vividly dramatizing the experience of slavery.
When Stowe visited President Lincoln at the White House in 1862, he reportedly said, So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this Great War. Whether authentic or not, the remark testifies to the extraordinary impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Despite Stowe's desire to portray slavery as a powerful blight upon the nation, the novel also reflects the racial stereotypes of its time. Yet this book, read by hundreds of thousands of Americans, proved a powerful weapon in the campaign to end human bondage in the United States.
