Description
1880 Uncle Toms Cabin Illustrated Beecher Stowe Slavery Abolition Civil War
“A moral battle cry for freedom!”
– Langston Hughes on Uncle Toms Cabin.
No other work of literature helped lay the groundwork for the American Civil War quite like Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin. In turn, many historians have credited this novel with being the contributing factor to the Civil War. This incredible story portrays slave families being torn apart through being sold and resold by slave masters. This story had a polarizing reaction. Over 300,000 of the first edition had to be printed, but remarkably was banned in most of the American South! Even still, it was the most-popular and highest-selling book in the 19th-century and is on the Grolier American 100!
This 1880 illustrated edition includes an introduction to the work as well as a bibliography of Uncle Toms Cabin by George Bullen, bound in the publishers brown cloth lettered in a gold beveled Edge.
