@@rodionraskolnikov3853 There are various types of slavery. Not every type of slavery is inherently wrong. Chattel slavery, the type that was practiced in the American south, is wrong because it denies the fundamental right to freedom and self determination that all human beings have. No human being has the right to own another human being as if they were a thing, like a piece of furniture, an appliance, or a kitchen utensil. There are other types of slavery that are not as bad, such as making criminals work because they owe a debt to society or to their victims or because it costs money to keep them incarcerated. Chattel slavery was outlawed by the 13th amendment but this type of slavery is allowed. Of course like just about everything else, there’s a potential for abuse. There’s also indentured servitude where you owe someone money so you agree to work for them for a specified length of time. It’s debatable whether or not that’s actually slavery. There’s a type of slavery that was practiced in ancient times that is similar to indentured servitude where, for whatever reason, whether you’re indebted to them or it’s the spoils of war or you want to marry their daughter (like in Genesis where Jacob wanted to marry Rachel) you work for them for a specified length of time and at the end of the term you’re given a choice to be set free or to be their slave for the rest of your life. If you decide that you want to remain their slave, they may give you a tattoo, pierce your ear as a type of brand and you belong to them and they take care of you. You’re their slave but it was voluntary. This isn’t every type of slavery. There’s also the type that was practiced in Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and elsewhere. Just about every culture has had slavery in one form or another. Some still do. The thing that’s wrong about it is the denial of freedom and autonomy. How many people are self righteous in their condemnation of George Washington and other founding fathers for having slaves when it was considered acceptable yet they buy stuff that’s made in China?
@Jon James i agree. My racist 'friend" in texas is black and called himself an "uncle tom" a few times, but stopped after I got serious about how different he was to the character. Sometimes he uses Malcolm X's death as an excuse for him to say he's at extra risk if he doesn't act like a racist asshole. He's just an asshole using any excuse he thinks he can to get away with his actions. No racism, pure humanity, i think. even racism is really just something ppl believe is popular and socially acceptable that can be manipulated.
As a bla ck woman, it might help to understand this book was written by a wh ite woman. Bla ck people are probably more likely to view Tom as a chariacture of whi te folks' imagination - i.e. not an accurate portrayal of how blck people actually live and think (that would explain the insult). At any rate, I'm only a quarter of the way through the book. I could definitely be wrong, but that's my perception based on what I know and have read.
One of the redeeming qualities of this story is the man using his power and privilege to protect his wife’s identity. Tom schooled her as best he could. But, ultimately it was up to that husband to defend his wife😁

EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING AND TALKING ABOUT THE STORY! my ancestor wrote this, and its so amazing to see everyone enjoying the story she had created!
Madelyn Bumba very cool. We live in Andover Ma and saw her grave today at Phillips academy during a walk. It inspired me and my bf to read the book. He said he was supposed to read it in high school but never did. So here we are. Lol
Great book, really shows the horrible things we Southerners did. I am sorry for the past, though I cannot change it, but I am glad that something somewhat good came out of that horrible act. Our country would be nowhere near as powerful, developed, or great without the labor of those poor humans. I just hope God can forgive our country. We need it in these times.
Thank you for acknowledging our ancestors hard work, sacrifice and loyalty to God. Their faith brought us through the valley of the shadow of death. I know we can get out of the belly of today's beast, identity politics. So long as all other minorities are recognized for uplift with specific policies but specific policies for Black people are "unconstitutional," ain't nothing changed much. We need #Reparations for this injustice to our ancestors and institutional systemic RACISM instituted in 1912 by Pres Woodrow Wilson continuing through State genocide and economic inequality.
Hello... This is human history/worldhistory still in the making. Slavery was once an accepted form of commerce worldwide. All races of people had slaves of not only other races but even their own. The United States was the first country in human history to make slavery illegal. Slavery still exists in our world til this very day, yet we want to dwell on the misconstrued past of this beautiful country. Why place or accept blame for things we have nothing to with? We must thank the past regardless of perspective. Let's move on. The time is now. Peace and Blessings
@@jaimesolis8362 I have moved on. I don’t support BLM. I think it’s idiotic to make such a big deal about it and to claim that your entire race is oppressed and that you need the entire world to recognize you as a victim. I was only making a comment about a historical book
I see So the Union was handsfree off slavery Who you think owned slave trading? It's the liberals like Tom's owners who are the biggest racists They abolish slavery in one hand while count the profits from slavery in the other hand Tom got a bad name How about the Africans who sold his ancestors into the slave trade? At least the Confederates wore their racism on their sleeve on full disclosure unlike the sneaky Union
EsteemQuashIKana not one word of what you said makes any sense. Are you actually trying to claim that the Confederacy was somehow good, because they were open about slavery? While the Union, who went to war to stop it is somehow bad??? 😳
@@ogrehaslayers605 You know damn well what I'm saying Don't act like the Union wasn't the financier of the Confederacy and it's slave practice African people tend to pick and choose the scapegoats without regard to accuracy That's like saying Donald Trump bad Joe Biden good That's a lie they both two sides of the same coin Don't try to misconstrue my statement Hold up You said the Union went to war to stop slavery? Wrong The Union went to war to upkeep the monopoly they had on what would be the contiguous USA They only abolished slavery to set back the South Wasn't nothing benevolent about the Union and Africans I see you drank all that b s the Anglo gave you in and out of school
The same Union that promptly returned to Native genocide, gleefully slaughtering Tribes that even helped them win the war? That Union? Because they're not exactly the good guys either. Presided over by the Native removing and killing Lincoln, who signed off on the largest mass execution in the US history, ( Native men..no shock) and made Thanksgiving a national holiday. The civil war was piece of shit vs piece of shit.
Not really their fault is it, as the other person said, if you didn't want to see spoilers, obviouslyyyy don't read the comments till you've finished the book... duhhhh lol
Precisely. It was primarily the mixed race girl who lacked the necessary courage. But, to focus on vilifying her means picking on a girl. So, of course it’s better to pick on the stoic Black guy🙂

Thank you so much for this! I’m in 6’th grade and I’m having a hard time reading this book and understanding everything. And even tho english is not my first language I understood perfectly and all the characters impressions are spot on!

This book is a primary source. On one level it proves Negroes are Aboriginals to the land. In the beginning she describes the child as an Octagon. An Octagon is a estimate of how Indian a person is. I will listen to the whole book to prove they know we ain't from Africa.
I love this book. I get called this man so much by blacks. Just because I think differently. But most blacks haven't even read this book, to even understand what uncle tom did.
@@bestwishes5060 you don't have to be a published author to have an opinion on the structure and pacing of a book, any more so than you have to be a professional filmmaker to have opinions on the framing of a scene in a movie.
I have to listen to this in bites. The writing doesn't pull any punches right from page one on the reality of slavery and the culture it takes to support it. It would be to everyone's benefit to be require reading in High School
Imagine if the people commenting knew the history of other countries. They'd think the United States was tame by comparison. But unfortunately... They don't know it.

This is my third time listening to/reading this novel and it still makes me livid. The irony that a pro-abolition novel fails to acknowledge black people as humans but proceeds to call us “creatures” is disgusting and very telling of how we’re seen today.
The word creature in middle English has the definition of a created being. Creature was used in the King James bible to describe all humans as created beings. The word creature also has a meaning of someone who is subservient to another. No matter which definition was intended (it may also depend on the character who says the word in the book), it fits the context of the book. The book is historical fiction after all. I do not believe the author's intent was to dehumanize African Americans. On the contrary, what I gain from the book is their humanity. She does call uncle Tom the hero of the story. The thing that makes me livid is the attitude of Marie St Claire. Who does not think that her slaves are capable of feelings as she is. In this narrative I think the authors intent is to debunk the dehumanization of the slaves by showing their humanity and their suffering. This book opens all kinds of emotions for me. Anger, excitement, joy, and sadness to name a few. God bless you.
Justin Katsel She meant “creature” in the same way that black people were seen as 3/5 of a person. That is obvious in which she only uses that word to refer to some black characters. The white characters she calls men, women, child, etc. Again, a white woman who thinks she’s progressive for believing black “creatures” shouldn’t be enslaved, while she is perpetuating the very stereotypes of black people during that time that were (and still are) damaging. Using the context clues surrounding the text is evident of this. Also, I’m an atheist, but thank you.
@@zenobiafenrick9603 do your research and read it in the context it was written. 3/5 of a person. read it instead of listening to what others tell you. why would you listen 3 times if it makes you livid? be the change that you want
The books is voicing the attitudes of that time period. Always looking for something to angry about. Instead just listen to the book and put yourself in the place of the characters feel the dispair abd the anguish. Otherwise shut up.
In sence era iS responsible to take care of self with knowledge and stand with this country it came far. Most not for get bible lies in your mind state . Slavery is to surrender and escape God gave Jesus tells a lot to why we can get pass all life keeps disobey the
Lack of literary taste? I bet he's a white dude. They have said nigger about 40 times in 2 hrs.. Described humans as articles, property, and a right.. Literary taste..
@@theguyyamamabefuckinsometi1198 Stowe told the story as it was. She wanted everyone to see what really went on. You can't tell this awful story all santitized according to our sensibilities. Cut out the bad language and inhuman treatment and what have you got? A Jim Crow fairy tale. Stowe was a feminist and an abolitionist. She wanted her readers to hate slavery and respect all human beings. It seems like you have problems with that.
Check out www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/54812 "A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin", in which Stowe justified her portrayals with extensive documentation. It's not the most pleasant reading, but very informative.

Great book, a solid piece of history for everyone to learn from. While it is a dark chapter in our country, one should learn from the remnants of the past and vow to never let that darkness repeat itself

Madelyn Bumba very cool. We live in Andover Ma and saw her grave today at Phillips academy during a walk. It inspired me and my bf to read the book. He said he was supposed to read it in high school but never did. So here we are. Lol
We are related then!

Thank you for posting this,you did a good job.
Excellent! I must have missed that year in school. One of the best reads
Great book, really shows the horrible things we Southerners did. I am sorry for the past, though I cannot change it, but I am glad that something somewhat good came out of that horrible act. Our country would be nowhere near as powerful, developed, or great without the labor of those poor humans. I just hope God can forgive our country. We need it in these times.
Thank you for acknowledging our ancestors hard work, sacrifice and loyalty to God. Their faith brought us through the valley of the shadow of death. I know we can get out of the belly of today's beast, identity politics. So long as all other minorities are recognized for uplift with specific policies but specific policies for Black people are "unconstitutional," ain't nothing changed much. We need #Reparations for this injustice to our ancestors and institutional systemic RACISM instituted in 1912 by Pres Woodrow Wilson continuing through State genocide and economic inequality.
Hello... This is human history/worldhistory still in the making. Slavery was once an accepted form of commerce worldwide. All races of people had slaves of not only other races but even their own. The United States was the first country in human history to make slavery illegal. Slavery still exists in our world til this very day, yet we want to dwell on the misconstrued past of this beautiful country. Why place or accept blame for things we have nothing to with? We must thank the past regardless of perspective. Let's move on. The time is now. Peace and Blessings

@@conservativecalvinist3308 what?
My heart usually sinks when I hear this is a librevox recording but this has been a excellent narration and I've really enjoyed it
This needs to be required reading in schools. With lots of discussion on what the Confederacy actually stood for. Slavery.
I see
So the Union was handsfree off slavery
Who you think owned slave trading?
It's the liberals like Tom's owners who are the biggest racists
They abolish slavery in one hand while count the profits from slavery in the other hand
Tom got a bad name
How about the Africans who sold his ancestors into the slave trade?
At least the Confederates wore their racism on their sleeve on full disclosure unlike the sneaky Union
EsteemQuashIKana not one word of what you said makes any sense. Are you actually trying to claim that the Confederacy was somehow good, because they were open about slavery? While the Union, who went to war to stop it is somehow bad??? 😳
@@ogrehaslayers605
You know damn well what I'm saying
Don't act like the Union wasn't the financier of the Confederacy and it's slave practice
African people tend to pick and choose the scapegoats without regard to accuracy
That's like saying Donald Trump bad Joe Biden good
That's a lie they both two sides of the same coin
Don't try to misconstrue my statement
Hold up
You said the Union went to war to stop slavery?
Wrong
The Union went to war to upkeep the monopoly they had on what would be the contiguous USA
They only abolished slavery to set back the South
Wasn't nothing benevolent about the Union and Africans
I see you drank all that b s the Anglo gave you in and out of school
EsteemQuashIKana oh got it. You’re a history denier. Whoops! Your tinfoil hat fell off 🤣
The same Union that promptly returned to Native genocide, gleefully slaughtering Tribes that even helped them win the war? That Union? Because they're not exactly the good guys either. Presided over by the Native removing and killing Lincoln, who signed off on the largest mass execution in the US history, ( Native men..no shock) and made Thanksgiving a national holiday. The civil war was piece of shit vs piece of shit.
How did being called uncle Tom become an insult?
He was a very strong person.
He gave up nothing and got beat to death for it!
Thanks for the spoiler! Guess I don't have to finish the book. Thanks for letting me know he died. 💁

Precisely. It was primarily the mixed race girl who lacked the necessary courage. But, to focus on vilifying her means picking on a girl. So, of course it’s better to pick on the stoic Black guy🙂

😭I thought I had to read 150 pages of this book on a Friday but it turns out it is due on a Monday and it's 10pm on a Sunday. Put it in 2x speed and I'm just gonna grind it out😂
How did it go? Did you meet the deadline? Did you make a good grade?
it helps alot :)i Just cant understand some conversations in it without the audio
It's so sad! I can barely listen to it!
Leesa Dexter I know what you are saying and I’m only on chapter two.
This book is a primary source. On one level it proves Negroes are Aboriginals to the land. In the beginning she describes the child as an Octagon. An Octagon is a estimate of how Indian a person is. I will listen to the whole book to prove they know we ain't from Africa.
I love this book. I get called this man so much by blacks. Just because I think differently. But most blacks haven't even read this book, to even understand what uncle tom did.

I have to listen to this in bites. The writing doesn't pull any punches right from page one on the reality of slavery and the culture it takes to support it. It would be to everyone's benefit to be require reading in High School
Was part of this book taken from slave Josiah Henson? I was told that today while touring a Maryland plantation.

Bedtime storyyy 😇😇 Thanks for tonight guys
It’s sobering to think that 100 years after this book was released, discrimination on the basis of race would still be legal.
Imagine if the people commenting knew the history of other countries. They'd think the United States was tame by comparison. But unfortunately... They don't know it.
so because other countries participated in even worse atrocities, the us isn't bad?
This narrator is incredible. How does he do all the voices? I'm transported and i usually dislike audiobooks.
Edit: the book itself I dont like much but the narration is good.
Yes! I too usually dont prefer audio books. I was so surprised to hear him narrate this so well!

This is my third time listening to/reading this novel and it still makes me livid. The irony that a pro-abolition novel fails to acknowledge black people as humans but proceeds to call us “creatures” is disgusting and very telling of how we’re seen today.
The word creature in middle English has the definition of a created being. Creature was used in the King James bible to describe all humans as created beings. The word creature also has a meaning of someone who is subservient to another. No matter which definition was intended (it may also depend on the character who says the word in the book), it fits the context of the book. The book is historical fiction after all. I do not believe the author's intent was to dehumanize African Americans. On the contrary, what I gain from the book is their humanity. She does call uncle Tom the hero of the story. The thing that makes me livid is the attitude of Marie St Claire. Who does not think that her slaves are capable of feelings as she is. In this narrative I think the authors intent is to debunk the dehumanization of the slaves by showing their humanity and their suffering. This book opens all kinds of emotions for me. Anger, excitement, joy, and sadness to name a few. God bless you.
Justin Katsel She meant “creature” in the same way that black people were seen as 3/5 of a person. That is obvious in which she only uses that word to refer to some black characters. The white characters she calls men, women, child, etc. Again, a white woman who thinks she’s progressive for believing black “creatures” shouldn’t be enslaved, while she is perpetuating the very stereotypes of black people during that time that were (and still are) damaging. Using the context clues surrounding the text is evident of this. Also, I’m an atheist, but thank you.
@@zenobiafenrick9603 do your research and read it in the context it was written. 3/5 of a person. read it instead of listening to what others tell you. why would you listen 3 times if it makes you livid? be the change that you want
The books is voicing the attitudes of that time period. Always looking for something to angry about. Instead just listen to the book and put yourself in the place of the characters feel the dispair abd the anguish. Otherwise shut up.
