Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly[1][2] is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War".[3]Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.[4][5][6]Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible.[7][8] It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s.[9] In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain.[10] Eight power presses, running day and night, could barely keep up with the demand.[11] In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called "the most popular novel of our day."[12] The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, "So this is the little lady who started this great war."[13] The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that "The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change."

Au XIXe siècle, dans le Kentucky, état sudiste, Mr Shelby, riche planteur, et son épouse, Emily, traitent leurs esclaves avec bonté. Mais le couple craint de perdre la plantation pour cause de dettes et décide alors de vendre deux de leurs esclaves: Oncle Tom, un homme d'âge moyen ayant une épouse et des enfants, et Harry, le fils d'Eliza, servante d'Emily. Cette idée répugne à Emily qui avait promis à sa servante que son fils ne serait jamais vendu, et le fils d'Emily, George Shelby, ne souhaite pas voir partir Tom qu'il considère comme un ami et un mentor. Lorsque Eliza surprend Mr. and Mrs. Shelby en train de discuter de la vente prochaine de Tom et Harry, elle décide de s'enfuir avec son fils. Pendant ce temps, Oncle Tom est vendu et embarque sur un bateau qui s'apprête à descendre le Mississippi. A bord, Tom rencontre une jeune fille blanche nommée Eva et se lie d'amitié avec elle. Lorsque Eva tombe à l'eau, Tom la sauve. En reconnaissance, le père d'Eva, Augustine St. Clare, achète Tom et l'emmène chez lui à La Nouvelle Orléans, où Tom et Eva se rapprochent l'un de l'autre grâce à la profonde foi chrétienne qu'ils partagent.
