Sinopsis

AáKeyátoáUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin is a 'supplement' book published to document Harriet Beecher StoweâÇÖs bestselling book and anti-slavery novel,áUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin. An instant classic,áUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin (which was first published in 1852) had a profound impact on attitudes toward African Americans andáslaveryáin the United States. StoweâÇÖs novel, which was highly controversial at the time, provoked a firestorm of competing and contradictory responses among readers from Northerners, Southerners, abolitionist groups, blacks, and women alike.UncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin tells the story of a 'benevolent' landowner who sells two slaves (UncleáTom and Eliza) as a fundraiser. After their sale, ElizaâÇÖs fortunes rise when she manages to escape to freedom.áUncleáTom, on the other hand, is repeatedly sold and eventually loses his very life at the hands of a violent master. Despite the heavy criticism,áUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin, became the first widely read American political novel and the second bestselling American book of the 19thácentury (after only the Bible).In response to the controversy surroundingáUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin, Stowe answered with a meticulous and thoughtful defense of her work entitled AáKeyátoáUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin. In thisáKey, Stowe documented the authenticity of the characters ináUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin. Like the preceding book, StoweâÇÖs follow-up challenged the institution of slavery, the mistreatment of individual slaves, and the law that allowed such wrongs.Needless to say, pro-slavery readers were further incensed by this follow-up volume. Notwithstanding her critics. Harriet Beecher Stowe managed to influence not only the thinking of people on slavery, but to impact the natureâÇÖs literature (in the terms of protest writing) as well.ááAáKeyátoáUncleáTomâÇÖs Cabin, which was also widely read and supported StoweâÇÖs claims, offers valuable insights into her first historical and literary masterpiece.
