Uncle Tom's Cabin or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have "helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War". Uncle Tom's Cabin is dominated by a single theme: the evil and immorality of slavery. While Stowe weaves other subthemes throughout her text, such as the moral authority of motherhood and the redeeming possibilities offered by Christianity, she emphasizes the connections between these and the horrors of slavery.

Onkel Toms Hütte ist ein 1852 veröffentlichter Roman von Harriet Beecher Stowe, der das Schicksal einer Reihe afroamerikanischer Sklaven und ihrer Eigentümer in den vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika schildert. Die Titelfigur Onkel Tom ist ein Sklave in Kentucky. Sein Herr Mr. Shelby behandelt ihn gut. Tom ist als Verwalter der Farm tätig. Er ist bekennender Christ und leitet regelmäßig die Gottesdienste der Sklaven. Als Tom jedoch aus Geldmangel verkauft werden muss, wird er von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern getrennt. Sein neuer Eigentümer, Herr St. Claire, ist ein gutmütiger, nachsichtiger Lebemann. Seine Tochter Eva entwickelt eine innige Freundschaft zu Tom. Harriet Beecher Stowe war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin und erklärte Gegnerin der Sklaverei. Der Roman Onkel Toms Hütte beeinflusste die politische Meinung in den USA zu diesem Thema wesentlich und wurde zu einer wichtigen Kampfschrift im Bürgerkrieg der Nordstaaten gegen die Südstaaten. Abraham Lincoln soll bei einem Zusammentreffen mit Harriet Beecher Stowe gesagt haben: "Sie sind also die kleine Frau, deren Buch diesen großen Krieg verursacht hat."
Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," wrote this 1869 novel with the intent of describing a New England village's life and character in the years after the Revolutionary War, before the advent of industrialization. Said Stowe, in the voice of the novel's narrator Horace Holyoke, "I would endeavor to show you New England in its seed-bed, before the hot suns of modern progress had developed its sprouting germs into the great trees of today." She based some of the book on the childhood memories of her husband, Calvin Ellis Stowe, and the residents of his birthplace, Natick, Massachusetts.
