In the novel, Stowe wrote of the evils and cruelty of slavery.  This book became a bestseller and was very widely read throughout the U.S. ]]> 2016-03-31 18:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103519753 ehunt2 https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103520440 While it is argued whether the book was a true portrayal of slaves' experience, the novel still had an enormous influence. The book sold more than 300,000 copies, was published in many languages, and was made into a play. It helped change the way many Northerners saw slavery.  It was now not only a political problem, but a morally wrong one. Because of this book, abolition groups in the North expanded to include many more members. ]]> 2016-03-31 18:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103520440 ehunt2 https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521266 2016-03-31 19:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521266 ehunt2 https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521414 2016-03-31 19:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521414 ehunt2 https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521597 2016-03-31 19:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521597 ehunt2 https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521684 2016-03-31 19:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ehunt2/uncletom/wish/103521684
