Description: Following three slaves and their experiences in and out of slavery, Stowe's novel deals with the effects of slavery on both blacks and whites in the antebellum, or pre-Civil War, South. Uncle Tom's Cabin can be seen in four uneven parts: Part I consisting of chapters one through nine, about the slave Eliza and her escape to freedom; Part II consisting of chapters ten through twenty-nine, about Uncle Tom and his relationship with Little Eva on the St. Clare plantation; Part III consisting of chapters thirty through forty-two, about Simon Legree and the death of Uncle Tom; and Part IV consisting of chapters forty-three through forty-five, which offer a resolution of the action and Harriet Beecher Stowe's appeal for the end of slavery. -- Answers.com.
