So her depiction of slavery isn't necessarily accurate. But, that's not why this book is a classic. It's a classic because it had such a big effect on how people viewed slavery. This book had a major rule in influencing Northern opinion of slavery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532554391625225853.post-25180912070404176422009-12-02T02:45:38.954-05:002009-12-02T02:45:38.954-05:00I find it funny that you should do a Clasics Corner on Uncle Tom's Cabin because the local high school where I live just put on "The King and I" which has many references to the book.

It was heartwrenching but a very important book that I think everyone should read.
