Neither before nor after the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin has a woman ever so relocated America to take action against injustice as Harriet Beecher Stowe. Posted in 1852, Uncle Tom's Cabin helped bring the abolitionists' concept to the public conscience. Indeed, Abraham Lincoln greeted Stowe in 1863 as "the tiny woman who made this big conflict." Eliza Harris, a slave whose child is usually to be sold, escapes her much loved home on the Shelby plantation in Kentucky and heads North, eluding the chosen slave catchers. Aided by the Underground Railroad, Quakers, yet others against the Fugitive Slave Action, Eliza, her son, and her spouse George run toward Canada. As the Harrises flee to freedom, another slave, Uncle Tom, is dispatched "down the river" on the market. Too loyal to abuse his master's trust, too Religious to rebel, Tom wrenches himself from his family. Befriending a white child, Evangeline St. Clare, Tom is bought by her daddy and taken up to their home in New Orleans. Although Evangeline's daddy finally resolves to free his slaves, his unexpected death alters their fates, mailing Tom further downriver to Simon Legree's plantation, and the whips of Legree's overseers.
