A review by michaelpdonley
Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe

5.0

While the language can make one cringe in 2015 because of some of the stereotypes, I marvel at how revolutionary it must've been when it came out in 1852, while slavery was in full swing in America. For an author of her day to shine harsh light on the horrors of slavery was brave, and it had a part in changing history. Added point of interest: Harriet Beecher Stowe is a distant relative of mine!
