1896 Uncle Tom’s Cabin + KEY Harriet Beecher Stowe Slavery Abolition



“A moral battle cry for freedom!”

– Langston Hughes on Uncle Tom’s Cabin.



No other work of literature helped lay the groundwork for the American Civil War quite like Harriet Beecher Stowe’s ‘Uncle Tom’s 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 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!



Following the radical responses to her monumental book ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a defense of the work and its content entitled ‘A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin’. While there was little doubt as to where Stowe stood on slavery, ‘A Key’ provided Stowe an outlet to describe and push her own anti-slavery views.



This ‘Writings of Harriet Beecher Stowe’ includes two volumes of both Uncle Tom’s Cabin and A Key as well as an introduction of the novel by C. D. Warner.
