Uncle Tom's Cabin By Harriet Beecher Stowe "Uncle Tom's Cabin
was a sensation upon its publication in 1852. In its first year
it sold 300,000 copies, and has since been translated into more
than twenty languages. This powerful story of one slave's
unbreakable spirit holds an important place in American history,
as it helped solidify the anti-slavery sentiments of the North,
and moved a nation to civil war."
