Southerners, conversely, strongly denied the novel's accuracy. The following year Stowe answered pro-slavery critics with this unique bestseller, a meticulous and thoughtful defense of her work, which cites real-life equivalents to her characters. Southern readers were further incensed by this follow-up volume, their wrath in no small part inflamed by a Yankee woman's presuming to tell men what to think. A critical aspect of Stowe's Key is her critique of the law's support of not only the institution of slavery but also the mistreatment of individual slaves. As in the original novel, her challenge extends beyond slavery to the law itself. American society's first widely read political novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin influenced the development of the nation's literature, particularly in terms of protest writing. This supplement to the novel offers valuable insights into a historical and literary landmark"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Stowe, Harriet Beecher, $d 1811-1896. $t Uncle Tom's cabin $x Sources. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slaves $z United States $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Uncle Tom (Fictitious character) 650 0 $a Political fiction $x Sources. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / Civil War Period (1850-1877). $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Dover books on history, political and social science. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018021052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7BD4276ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
