Uncle Tom, Topsy, Sambo, Simon Legree, little Eva are characters in Harriet Beecher Stowe's remarkable novel of the pre-Civil War South. Uncle Tom's Cabin was revolutionary for its passionate indictment of slavery and for its presentation of Tom, a man of humanity, as the first black hero in American fiction.
