This article is about the mid-19th century novel. For other uses, see Uncle Tom's Cabin (disambiguation). Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly, is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War, according to Will Kaufman.
âThe Lord Himself wrote it,â she used to say afterwards. âI was but an instrument in His hand.â. The book made Mrs Stowe an international celebrity and a hated figure in the South. In 1853 she published A Key to Uncle Tomâs Cabin, a non-fiction riposte to critics who accused her of exaggerating slaveryâs cruelties. On a tour of Britain she made friends among the great and good, was cheered at anti-slavery meetings and collected ample donations for the cause.
