Written as a response to the Fugitive Slave Act, the work depicts the horrors of slavery through the story of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering enslaved man, and the characters whose lives revolve around him. Stowe asserts that Christian love could overcome slavery's evils. The novel became a bestseller and profoundly influenced American attitudes toward slavery, helping fuel the abolitionist movement in the 1850s.
