Features: Uncle Tom's Cabin is a work by American female writer Harriet Beecher Stowe. The novel vividly portrays the Christian faith, noble spirit of sacrifice, and the tragic fate of the Black slave Tom under an unequal social system, thereby exposing the evil nature of slavery. Written in 1852, the book immediately sparked strong reactions from all sectors of society. To some extent, it fueled anti-slavery sentiment among the American people, becoming one of the factors that led to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe was also jokingly called by President Lincoln as "a little woman who wrote a book and started a big war."
