Uncle Tom's Cabin - Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is one of the most famous and widely read books, not only in America, but throughout the world. The author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, wrote it in response to an 1850 law mandating the reporting of fugitive slaves.
This book was enthusiastically received by abolitionists but provoked the hatred of slave owners. Its activism is even considered a trigger for the Civil War.
