This decision caused lots of contrasting opinions in the North in South, driving the two further apart. ]]> 2021-12-03 02:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/christinamroc/r09kziob5dgflwev/wish/1926511948 christinamroc https://padlet.com/christinamroc/r09kziob5dgflwev/wish/1926700854 With the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, a lot of the truth about slavery was revealed.
