Uncle Tom’s Cabin Reading Report U ncle Tom’s Cabin is written by Harriet Beecher Stowe.She was a teacher of Hartford Female Academy and a positive abolitionist.1850,she and her husband moved to Maine, where about anti-slavery discussion made her excited, so she used free time to write the Uncle Tom's Cabin. This novel made her fame. The impact was summed up in a commonly quoted statement apocryphally attributed to Abraham Lincoln. When he met Stowe, it is claimed that he said, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this Great War!"
Uncle Tom's Cabin was published in 1852 ,an anti-slavery novel. African Americans in this novel about slavery and the views of the United States have produced far-reaching implications, and to some extent led to the American Civil War exacerbated by regional or local conflicts. The book revolves around a well-suffering slave Uncle Tom's story unfolds, and described him with his side, both slaves and slave owners, the experience.

It's not a melodrama, but shows an evil institution which allows both good and evil and all those in between to exist under it, and how this institution affects the individuals.
I found Stowe's main purpose of this book was to nakedly expose the
institution of slavery to America and the rest of the world with the hopes that something would be done about it. To achieve this purpose, she showed us individual instances of slavery in a country that prided itself on its Christianity and its laws protecting freedom. She showed us how absurd slavery is "beneath the shadow of American laws and the shadow of the cross of Christ.
This is a tragic history of black slaves. Tom is good, but it is because of his goodness and piety toward the dead end of his road. Description of a naked group of American slavery under the vampire, its purpose is to arouse awareness of the black slave revolt so that they can for their own freedom and the courage to fight evil in the end. On the other hand, it demonstrated a critique of slavery.。
