Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Uncle Tom's CabinWritten by: Harriet Beecher Stowe

Very good character development and depiction of life for various slaves in the United States before the Civil War / War Between the States / War of Northern Aggression / Mississippi Fight Club Jamboree. Actual human beings as property, with every aspect of their lives hanging on the whims of the white master. Sometimes it was okay (so long as you didn’t feel like going anywhere or doing anything different), basically living on a farm and doing work and having friends, but when the nice guy dies you are totally fucked, your family gets split and you get sent “down the river” to some shithole where life expectancy is like 3 months and that feels too long while you’re there. Wow. Glad that’s over.
