Harriet Beecher Stowe presents scenes of great dramatic power that illustrate the human effects of a system in which slaves were considered property: the breakup of families, the struggles for freedom, and the horrors of plantation labor. She incorporates the different voices of the emerging American nation, including the Southern slave-owning classes, Northern abolitionists, the sorrow songs and dialect of slaves, as well as the language of political debate and religious zeal. The novel was, and remains, controversial and abrasive in its demand for change.
