@kisatsutai: On this day in 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe published Uncle Tom's Cabin as a novel; it had previously run as a serial. The novel played a crucial role in shifting those who were ambivalent about slavery (especially Northerners) into abolitionists—a shift in public opinion that helped to bring about the Civil War. It has been criticized, however, for its racist portrayal of Black people, with “Uncle Tom” becoming synonymous with subservience. It became the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, behind only the Bible. The novel deepened the divide between the North and South and is famously recognized as a contributing factor to the American Civil War, with Abraham Lincoln later referring to Stowe as "the little lady that started this great War". #kny #demonslayer #kisatsutai #quotes
