Production of Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe that depicts the horrors that slavery produced.  Since there wasn’t many copyright laws, people produced the book.   According to many historians, this book “laid the groundwork for the Civil War.”  Depending on who produced the show, the show’s “feel” would be depicted anti-slavery, or even pro-slavery (many people decided to watch the play instead of reading so they could manipulate it).  This book caused rage to all those who supported slavery and opened the eyes to those who were oblivious to the horrors of it.
