Uncle Tom's Cabin Part III

I will admit it took me long enough to come out with this post, but that will not stop me from further evaluating what I thought of the book as I did my best to finish it. The whole thing was an interesting work speaking against slavery and was easy enough to read that I was able to understand what was going on for the most part. What struck me most about the narrative as what happened toward the end. I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it, but it shows that, even in the lives of the characters in the book, that many since the time period in which the book was written have changed their minds about slavery. Though the book essentially sparked America's most devastating war, it's interesting to note that it may have also allowed America to change its mind about slavery. Surely, this book is something to credit for the idea of abolishing slavery in the first place.
