A little about the story
When a Kentucky enslaver agrees to sell Tom and the child Harry, Eliza flees with her son while Tom is sent farther south. Their paths show how the slave trade breaks up families and makes individual safety dependent on someone else’s decisions.
Stowe switches between households and levels of society. Her direct appeals to readers make the novel a record of how abolitionists tried to reach a nineteenth-century audience.
