The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. 7] 8] It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. 9] In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain |
