American Slavery
Subject:
One of the places we have the clearest views of that "terrible transformation" is the colony of Virginia. In the early years of the colony, many Africans and poor whites -- most of the laborers came from the English working class -- stood on the same ground. Black and white women worked side-by-side in the fields. Black and white men who broke their servant contract were equally punished. ? ? ? All were indentured servants. During their time as servants, they were fed and housed. Afterwards, they would be given what were known as "freedom dues," which usually included a piece of land and supplies, including a gun. Black-skinned or white-skinned, they became free.

Harriet Beecher Stowe's impact on US History
Subject:
Impact of Uncle Tom's Cabin, Slavery,
and the Civil War
The strength of Uncle Tom's Cabin is its ability to illustrate slavery's effect on families, and to help readers empathize with enslaved characters. Stowe's characters freely debated the causes of slavery, the Fugitive Slave Law, the future of freed people, what an individual could do, and racism. Writing in the 1950s, poet Langston Hughes called the book a "moral battle cry for freedom."
According to legend, Abraham Lincoln greeted Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 by saying "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war." Whether the story is true or not, the sentiment underscores the public connection between Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Civil War.
Slavery in the U.S.
Subject:
For approximately two hundred and fifty years, slavery raged on in the United States. Today, people look back on it with humiliation and sadness. Most agree that it was morally wrong, but did the colonists of the seventeenth century have another choice? The colonies were full of plantations, and did not have enough laborers to work them. Wages were rising in England, so there were less indentured servants, plantation owners grew fearful of mutinous former servants, and there weren’t enough workers to toil away at their labor-intensive crops. Without slaves, plantation owners wouldn’t have been able to do what they did on such a large scale.

APUS SUMMER ASSIGNMENT Max B 1) Life of the American Slave The purpose in presenting this theme was so Stowe could show the world and its future inhabitance about the horrors of American slavery. By passing down texts similar to Uncle Tom?s Cabin from generation to generation, we ensure ourselves that history does not repeat itself. Also, Uncle Tom?s Cabin was written after 1850 when the Fugitive Slave Act was passed. This Act made it illegal for anyone to offer assistance to a fugitive slave. Throughout the novel, the author illustrates why it is moral to help those who are enslaved; it could be said that Stowe wrote this book to go against the Fugitive Slave Act.
