The novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is an anti-slavery novel by the American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. She wrote this story based around the life of a slave named Uncle Tom who had to endure extreme suffering till his death. Harriet's purpose of writing this story was to attack the recently passed law of the U. S. government, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. This law made it illegal for anyone to provide assistance to any runaway slave. Young master George is the son of Arthur Shelby, the original owners of Uncle Tom. <em>The futile attempts by George to buy Uncle Tom from a ruthless plantation owner Simon Legree depicts the failed ideas of America</em>. But this also resulted in him freeing all his slaves of his Kentucky farm in memory of Tom.
