Summary: One of the best and most moving books I have ever read.
Comment: Uncle Tom's Cabin is about the evils of slavery from many different sides of the issue. The main character (Uncle Tom) is a good, always obedient, Christian slave that's master has to sell to pay off a debt. He has several masters, one very kind, one just normal, and one very brutal. It reallly shows how horrible slavery was. After reading it, it became obvious to me why there was a war to put an end to this terrible atrocity. Uncle Tom shows us how it is possible to do the right thing, face horrible punishments (being beaten almost to death), and still love everyone, including his evil master which he also forgave. It was one of the most memorable books I have read. I recommend it to everyone and I think it should be required reading for all schools. I think this book definitely deserves five out of five stars.

Summary: Uncle Tom's Cabin Review
Comment: Uncle Tom's Cabin is a touching book about the evils of slavery. In the story Tom, a slave, is sold to various masters who have very different personalities. One master is a very nice person who cares about his slaves. Another is a horrible man who beats his slaves and doesn't care about anyone but himself. Even though Tom goes through many hardships, he is still forgiving and follows the word of God. The novel also talks about a runaway slave named Eliza and her son. She tries to escape when she finds out that her son is being sold and desperately flees.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a great book that tells how horrible slavery is by examples of a few slaves. It showed me how hard it was for slaves to live back in times of slavery. This is a great book, but it was a little hard to follow. Harriet Beecher Stowe sometimes gets a little too descriptive and it is easy to become confused. Even so, I still think that Uncle Tom's Cabin was a terrific book.

Summary: The real Uncle Tom was a hero not a Quisling !
Comment: HOW DID A CHARACTER WHO PREFERRED TO FACE DEATH RATHER THAN TORTURE AND BETRAY OTHER SLAVES BECOME THE SYMBOL OF 'JUDAS-HOOD' FOR BLACK AMERICA ? I wonder how many blacks --then or now-- would refrain from going against other blacks if they knew it could mean their being beaten or killed ? In view of all the black drug dealers willing to sell drugs to black children and run away dads and other betrayers, I don't think many.
The original character was a hero of non-violent resistance. But, militants have often seen the such as a weakness; not a strength --attacking Martin and others. And, they are wrong.
The name Uncle Tom should be used for blacks of great character and not for blacks of no character. But, many --including myself-- have used it the wrong way.
