Uncle Tom's Cabin WHAT WERE THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE TIME THAT WOULD HAVE INFLUENCED STOWE'S WRITING? Asked by NICKGARCES 15 years ago 12/8/2009 2:12 PM Last updated by anonymous 15 years ago 3/12/2010 1:19 AM
The political and social issues at the time was pretty much about slavery. When Stowe wrote this, many people realized the cruelty of some Southern slaves. In fact, she wrote it especially for this reason.
