(Lauren Ch.1-13) In the first thirteen chapters of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author claims that slavery and the treatment of slaves is against Christian morals and beliefs.
(Kathryn Ch.14-17) Stowe uses the Bible in a negative sense, as characters like Mr. Wilson use it to support and justify slavery and why African Americans' rightful positions are to be dominated over. This in turn, disenfranchised the Bible of its inerrant authority, and displayed the unprecedented idea that the Bible should not be used to rationalize slavery.
The Bible is used by abolitionists to aid their argument for abolition. In addition, southerns also used the Bible in their pro-slavery argument Stowe demonstrates to the reader how the south interpreted the Bible in away that has it justify slavery.
(Laura Ch.18-20) The question arising among chapters 18-20 is to whether or not a slave holder, specifically St. Clare, can be a good man with the business he take part in.
(Marina Ch.32-End) Throughout these chapters, Harriet Beecher Stowe claims that Uncle Tom’s death impacted the lives of many individuals, but the reality is that the perspective of society in her era did not even believe black people’s lives mattered at all.
That is an incredible point Marina! George couldn't even try Legree with murder because there were no white witnesses and only a white man could verify the claim because black testimony meant nothing in the courts. Even Tom's powerful force of Christianity could not change Legree, though he felt fear when seeing Tom with his powerful preaching.
Claim Ch. 21-31: (Laura) Those that were kind to all people (including slaves) and have faith in the God will find great joy in heaven while those that ignore God’s word will live meaningless lives.
