# Onkel Tom's Hütte

By Harriet Beecher Stowe.

"Onkel Tom's Hütte" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel published in 1852 that depicts the harsh fate of enslaved African Americans and their owners in 1840s America. Tom, a devout Christian slave in Kentucky, is sold away from his family and endures a journey through different masters—from the benevolent to the brutally cruel. Meanwhile, fellow slave Eliza flees with her family toward freedom. Stowe wrote this work to inspire sympathy and expose the injustices of slavery, particularly targeting the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
