He was honest and capable, loyal to his master for many years. However, Shelby incurred debts and sold Tom and the son of the female slave Eliza, Jim, to pay them off. Eliza escaped with her son and encountered her husband on the way, eventually making their way to Canada. Tom was sold several times and later ended up on a plantation in the South. Later, because he refused to reveal the whereabouts of two escaped female slaves, he was cruelly whipped by his master but remained steadfast. He was ultimately beaten to death by his master.
