Description
1852 1ed Uncle Toms Cabin Beecher Stowe Slavery Abolition Civil War RARE
“A moral battle cry for freedom!”
– Langston Hughes on Uncle Toms Cabin.
No other work of literature helped lay the groundwork for the American Civil War quite like Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin. In turn, many historians have credited this novel with being the contributing factor to the Civil War. This incredible story portrays slave families being torn apart through being sold and resold by slave masters. This story had a polarizing reaction. Over 300,000 of the first edition had to be printed, but remarkably was banned in most of the American South! Even still, it was the most-popular and highest-selling book in the 19th-century and is on the Grolier American 100!
This set features volumes from the 10th thousand and 110th Thousand print run! According to Printing and the Mind of Man,
“the impact of Uncle Toms Cabin on the United States was greater than that of any book before or since”.
