What was the title of the book by Harriet Beecher Stowe, which helped many black slaves in America?

'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (full title, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly') is an anti-slavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was published in 1852 and influenced many people's thoughts about black Americans and slavery, eventually prompting the American Civil War. When Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the beginning of the war, he said, "So this is the little lady who made this big war."

The main character, Uncle Tom, is a patient, unselfish black slave who stands up for what he believes in. Due to his strong religious faith, he loves everyone. He refuses to beat other slaves when prompted and helps many slaves to escape. As a result, he often received beatings from his white owners.

By writing the book, Stowe was not trying to make Tom an example of black people in America. Instead, she wanted to educate white people. If everyone was as loving and unselfish as Uncle Tom, slavery would be impossible.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist from Connecticut. She wrote her novel in reaction to the second Fugitive Slave Act (1850), which punished people who helped slaves run away. 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' became the most popular novel of the 19th century. It was also the best-selling book after the Bible.
