APUS SUMMER ASSIGNMENT Max B 1) Life of the American Slave The purpose in presenting this theme was so Stowe could show the world and its future inhabitance about the horrors of American slavery. By passing down texts similar to Uncle Tom?s Cabin from generation to generation, we ensure ourselves that history does not repeat itself. Also, Uncle Tom?s Cabin was written after 1850 when the Fugitive Slave Act was passed. This Act made it illegal for anyone to offer assistance to a fugitive slave. Throughout the novel, the author illustrates why it is moral to help those who are enslaved; it could be said that Stowe wrote this book to go against the Fugitive Slave Act.
