Trivia Question: Who wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin?
Answer: Harriet Beecher Stowe
Stowe’s book highlighted how slavery took away personhood on an individual level. Even hard-working and “cooperative” slaves in Uncle Tom’s Cabin were punished at the drop of a hat. Putting audience members in the shoes of a slave helped Stowe’s novel ignite the Abolitionist Movement.
