Features: At the end of this book, George Washington Harris pointed out its main theme in one sentence: "Whenever you see Uncle Tom's Cabin, you should think of your freedom." Harriet Beecher Stowe uses a parallel two-line structure to show us the various inequalities and hardships suffered by Southern black slaves under slavery and explores their path to freedom: one path preserves the glorious footsteps of the brave and George Harris and his wife Eliza, who refused to be humbled by fate and ultimately won freedom. This book inspired the American Civil War with the slogan of abolishing slavery at the time, and it is a representative work of American abolitionist literature, as well as the first American work with a distinct democratic tendency in realism.
