“Gone with the Wind is my all time favorite book, and I felt somewhat morally obligated to read Uncle Tom's Cabin as a counterpoint. I think it's a bit heavy handed with the moralizing "Mother... what would you do if you were in her position???" and it is quite emotionally manipulative. However, I think the character sketches do bring to life the evils of slavery and how it affected the slave, master, and all Americans of the time. A very interesting window into a very dark time in American history. Far more interesting than anything I read in my history books.”
“My group Classical Re-education will be reading this book July 2009, discussions will follow. Please join us: http://www.shelfari.com/groups/32384/discussions/121736/Uncle-Tom-s-Cabin---Stowe”
