The Power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin
..My first reaction to this book is that it was based much more on religion than I had imagined it to be.As I expected,Stowe's main purpose of the book was to nakedly expose the institution of slavery to America and the rest of the world with the hopes that something would be done about it.To achieve this purpose,she showed us individual instances of slavery in a country that prided itself on its Christianity and its laws protecting freedom.She showed us how absurd slavery is "beneath the shadow of American laws and the shadow of the cross of Christ."
