内容概要

　　《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的作者斯陀夫人对美国的蓄奴制所产生的把黑奴当成没有灵魂的牲畜肆意虐待和进行买卖的行为一向深恶痛绝。一八五O年美国联邦议会又通过了《逃奴法案》，规定任何人不得收留逃奴，自由州的居民如协助逃奴，将受到法律的制裁。这一法律的通过无异于在美国全境以法律的形式承认了黑奴是奴隶主的私有财产，而当时相当一批北方的政界与宗教界的领袖竟然为这一法案辩护，认为为了维护联邦统一，不致分成南北两个国家，这个法案是十分必要的。这使得斯陀夫人更为愤怒。她认为只有不了解蓄奴制的真相及其残酷性的人才会为蓄奴制与《逃奴法案》进行辩护，于是决心通过文学的形式，把蓄奴制的种种骇人听闻的罪恶公这于世。她心目中的读者主要是北方信奉基督教的白人，她希望通过自己的作品使他们同情并支持废除奴隶制的斗争。

章节摘录

　　Ye see， said Marks to Haley， stirring his punch as he did so， ye see， we has justices convenient at all pints along shore that does up any little jobs in our line quite reasonable. Tom， he does the knockin down and that ar;and I come in all dressed up——shining boots——everything first chop， when the swearins to be done. You oughter see me now， said Marks， in a glow of professional pride， how I can tone it off. One day， Im Mr Twickem， from New Orleans; nother day， Im just come from my plantation on Pearl River， where I works seven hundred niggers; then， again， I come out a distant relation of Henry Clay， or some old cock in Kentuck. Talents is different， you know. Now， Toms a roarer when theres any thumping or fighting to be done; but at lying， he ant good， Tom ant——ye see it dont come natural to him; but Lord if thars a feller in the country that can swear to anything and everything， and put in all the circumstances and flourishes with a longer face， and carryt through bettern I can， why， Id like to see him， thats all！ I blieve， my heart， I could get along， and snake through， even if justices were more particular than they is. Sometimes I rather wish they was more particular; twould be a heap more relishin if they was—— more fun， yer know.

　　斯托夫人编著的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》通过对汤姆和乔治·哈里斯夫妇这两种不同性格黑奴的描述，告诉读者：逆来顺受、听从奴隶主摆布的汤姆难逃死亡的命运；而敢于反抗敢于斗争的乔治夫妇得到了新生。这部小说在启发民众反对农奴制的情绪上起了非常重要的作用，被视为美国内战的起因之一。林肯总统后来接见斯托夫人时戏谑地称她是《写了一本书，酿成了一场大战的小妇人 》。
