This is a later London published version. The publisher is Walter Scott and the book sold over 1 million copies in the UK.

Harriet Beecher Stowe`s best known novel, Uncle Tom`s Cabin (1852), changed forever how Americans viewed slavery, the system that treated people as property. It demanded that the United States deliver on the promise of freedom and equality, galvanized the abolition movement and contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. The book calls on us to confront the legacy of race relations in the U.S. as the title itself became a racial slur.

The volume is in nice condition, with some shelf wear. HKA#62515
