Mainly talking about slavery in the United States and the miserable life of slaves under this system.

Uncle Tom's Cabin has also been translated into the voyage of a black slave and Uncle Tom's Cabin, which is a realistic work by the famous American writer Mrs. Beecher Stowe.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is the best-selling novel in19th century, which is considered as a major reason for the rise of abolitionism in1850s. In the first year of publication, it sold 300,000 copies in the United States. The influence of this novel on American society is so great that at the beginning of the Civil War, Lincoln met the author Mrs. Stowe and said, "You are the little woman who started the war."

Mrs. Stowe was born in a pastor's family in North America and worked as a teacher at Hartford Women's College. She witnessed the tragic fate of black slaves under the cruel oppression of slave owners and felt pity. Inspired by this, she personally went to the south to understand the real situation, and decided to participate in the battle to liberate slaves in her own way, so she created the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Around the story of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave, the book describes his experiences with the people around him-slaves and slave owners, and focuses on Tom, a slave who accepted the Christian spirit instilled by slave owners and resigned himself to fate. It also created rebellious slaves who were unwilling to let slave owners decide their own lives, such as Eliza and her husband. This sentimental novel profoundly depicts the cruel nature of slavery and holds that Christian love can overcome all kinds of harm caused by enslavement of human compatriots. Because of her concern for the fate of black slaves, Mrs. Stowe also became the most outstanding writer who supported the abolition of slavery.

Uncle Tom's Cabin is not only a classic in the history of world literature, but also has a far-reaching impact on American history and the process of world civilization. It was listed as 16 books that changed the world by American scholar John F. Burns, and it was also called "the greatest victory in the history of literature" by the famous American poet henry longfellow.
