The men , Uncle Tom among them , had heavy chains put on both hands and feet . Then Legree drove them all on to a boat which was going up the river to his plantation . It was a sad journey . This time there was no pretty Eva , nor kind-hearted Mr. St. Clare , to bring any happiness to the poor slaves . One of the first things Legree did was to take away all Tom 's nice clothes which Mr. St. Clare had given him . He made him put on his oldest clothes , then he sold all the others to the sailors . Legree made his slaves unhappy in every way he could think of . Then he would come up to them and say , ` Come , come , I do n't allow any sulky looks . Be cheerful , now , or -- ' and he would crack his whip in a way to make them tremble . At last the weary journey was over . Legree and his slaves landed . His house was a long way from the river . The men slaves walked , while Legree and the two women drove in a cart . Mile after mile they trudged along , over the rough road through wild and dreary country , till , hungry , thirsty , and tired , they arrived at the farm , or plantation as it was called . Legree was not a gentleman like Mr. Shelby or Mr. St. Clare . He was a very rough kind of farmer . On his farm he grew cotton . The cotton had to be gathered and tied into bundles . Then he sold it to people who made it into calico , muslin , and other things , which we need to use and wear . Gathering cotton is very hard work .
The house XXXXX lived in had once been a very fine one , and had belonged to a rich gentleman .
