Uncle Tom's Cabin, also translated as Negro Appeal and Uncle Tom's Cabin, is a realistic work by the famous American writer Mrs. Beecher Stowe.

Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and is credited with being a major stimulus for the rise of abolitionism in the 1850s. Within the first year of its publication, 300,000 copies were sold stateside. So great was the novel's impact on American society that when Abraham Lincoln received the author, Mrs. Stowe, in the early days of the Civil War, he said, "You are the little woman who started a great war."

She witnessed the tragic fate of black slaves under the brutal oppression of slave owners and felt compassion. Inspired by this, she personally traveled to the South to learn about the real situation, and decided to participate in her own way in the battle to free the black slaves, which led to the creation of the anti-slavery novel - Uncle Tom's Cabin. The whole book centers around the story of a long-suffering black slave, Uncle Tom, and describes his experiences with those around him-slaves and slave owners-and focuses on portraying Tom, a slave who accepts the Christianity instilled in him by his slave owners and is a rebellious type of slave; and also portrays It also portrays the rebellious black slaves, such as Eliza and her husband, who are not willing to let the slave masters decide about them. This sentimental novel y depicts the brutal nature of slavery and argues that Christian love can overcome the harm brought about by the enslavement of fellow human beings. Mrs. Stowe also became one of the most prominent of the pro-abolition writers for her concern for the fate of the Negro.
