Description
In 1852 Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom's Cabin, an instant classic acclaimed by Northerners and other abolitionist readers. Southerners, conversely, strongly denied the novel's accuracy. The following year Stowe answered pro-slavery critics with this unique bestseller, a meticulous and thoughtful defense of her work, which cites real-life equivalents to her characters.
