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.
Most writings that mention the hymns sung by the slaves in Uncle Tom's Cabin refer to spirituals, but we need to treat this notion with caution. Stowe herself consistently wrote in Uncle Tom's Cabin that the slaves were singing either Methodist hymns or camp-meeting hymns, and there is reason to take her at her word.
