Mit ihrem Roman über den afroamerikanischen Leibeigenen Onkel Tom wandte sich Harriet Beecher Stowe Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts gezielt gegen die Sklavenhalter in den Südstaaten. 'Onkel Toms Hütte' erschien zunächst von Juni 1851 bis April 1852 in vierzig Kapiteln in 'The National Era', einer meinungsstarken Zeitschrift der Abolitionisten. Die eindrucksvolle Darstellung der Leiden der Unterdrückten, die auf den Memoiren des mithilfe der Underground Railroad nach Kanada geflüchteten ehemaligen Sklaven Josiah Henson beruhten, verschaffte dem Text nicht nur ein breites Publikum, der Roman wurde auch zu einer Streitschrift im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Er provozierte etwa zwei Dutzend 'Anti-Onkel-Tom-Romane'.
Abraham Lincoln soll anlässlich eines Treffens 1862 gesagt haben: 'Sie sind also die kleine Frau, deren Buch diesen großen Krieg verursacht hat.'
Uncle Tom's Cabin is an antislavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in two volumes 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 [American] Civil War'.
Stowe, a Connecticutborn woman of English descent, was part of the religious Beecher family and an active abolitionist. She wrote the sentimental novel to depict the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love could overcome slavery. The novel focuses on the character of Uncle Tom, a longsuffering black slave around whom the stories of the other characters revolve.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the bestselling novel and the second bestselling book of the 19th century, following the Bible, and is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. The impact attributed to the book was so great that a likely apocryphal story arose of Abraham Lincoln meeting Stowe at the start of the Civil War and declaring, 'So this is the little lady who started this great war.'
The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of negative stereotypes about black people including that of the namesake character 'Uncle Tom', with the term now used to describe an excessively subservient person. These associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a 'vital antislavery tool'.

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. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. 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. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called 'the most popular novel of our day.' 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.' 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.'
The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of stereotypes about black people. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a vital antislavery tool.
