In this video, I’ll answer the question – Who is Uncle Tom ? First published on March 20, 1852, the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin, by the abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe is largely considered to be one of the greatest American novels of all time. In fact, an article published by the Boston Morning Post the year that it was released even went so far as to claim that everybody in the country had either read it, was reading it, or was about to read it.

According to popular lore, publishers had to keep 17 different printing presses running twenty-four-seven just to keep up with consumer demand for the book. In the United States alone, Uncle Tom’s Cabin sold more than 300,000 copies and went on to be regarded as the best-selling novel of the 19th century.

But as popular as this book might have been, many Black Americans have actually come to despise its titular character, Uncle Tom.

So, who exactly is Uncle Tom?
