# Onkel Tom's Hütte

By Harriet Beecher Stowe.

"Onkel Tom's Hütte: oder die Geschichte eines christlichen Sklaven" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is an anti-slavery novel published in 1852. Written in response to the Fugitive Slave Act, this sentimental work depicts the horrors of slavery through the story of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering enslaved man around whom other characters' lives revolve. Stowe asserts that Christian love could overcome slavery's evils. The novel became a bestseller, profoundly affecting American attitudes toward slavery and helping fuel the abolitionist movement that led toward the Civil War.
