Uncle Tom's Cabin is a best-selling novel from school teacher Harriet Beecher Stowe about slavery in 19th century America.
History

The book was banned in the Southern States and has been challenged (or placed on a "banned" books list by the NAACP) for its allegedly racist portrayal of African Americans and the use of racial epithets. Because of these critical issues, a major motion picture of this classic novel has never been produced.
Plot

This book is about a farmer who is facing the loss of his farm because of debts. He decides to sell two of his slaves, Uncle Tom and Harry, to a slave trader. The story follows the sale of these two slaves and a slave maid, who ran away with her son.
