He urged the slaves to leave the hell as soon as possible. Then, the slaves broke down gates with the help of whites; they fight with the slave owner. Finally, Uncle Tom lies in his hut, watching the slave owner admit defeat and leave. He left the world with great relief, as his black compatriots could win, and many white men were on their side.

The author of the novel is Harriet Beecher Stowe. Therefore, its literary review should be based on the same value. The most fundamental right of a man today is freedom of speech and respect for a man at least. Slaves can only submit to fate, but slave owners can do whatever they want. The system that destroys humanity in the United States has a lot to do with the country itself. This country loves to conquer. They can sell all kinds of living people brazenly. In fact, many people think that this novel is one of the causes of the American Civil War, and it gives us enlightenment. The third prominent literary review is the religious value of the novel. Uncle Tom and George are disciples of the typical religious faith.

Although the novel has some limitations in the shadow of religion at that time, it also highlights the characteristics of the characters thus giving the article more ups and downs. The novel was changed into a play, and several times it was made into a film. In addition to its considerable social value, it is also closely related to its classic structure. There are 45 chapters in this book. It employs the classic three-act structure in the play. The book is composed of three classical acts. The Reflection of Racial Discrimination in American History 2. The Tremble on Black People's Dignity The black slavery in the southern United States was the product of the combination of ancient slavery and modern capitalist exploitation. In ancient slavery, slaves were the property and tools of the slave owners, without any personal freedom or dignity (Dillard, 1972).

The slave owners carried out extreme brutal and inhuman exploitation of slaves. The modern capitalist system regards everything as a commodity, and the product it produces is to grab high profits. The Massacre of the Black People In the history of the United States, there are many examples of killing black people (Hendrickson, 1987). In 1863; there was a massacre in New York that lasted for four days, specifically for blacks. The cause came from the civil war. At that time, the United States was calling for citizens to join the army but the rich were given immunity from military service. Black people were miserable, and the many blacks who were enlisted as rich people became the primary target of attacks, and many blacks were killed or hanged.

This led to greater oppression of blacks in 1808, the United States promulgated the law against slavery, but that did not change anything. Then came the prevalence of the smuggling of black slaves through the second war of independence between Britain and the United States, a large number of blacks gained freedom through joining the army. On the one hand, these free blacks fought against their bad conditions, and on the other hand, they led the black people in slavery to fight. Given the threat of secession in the southern States, in 1850, the United States Congress passed The Fugitive Slave Act to ease the regional conflicts caused by slavery in the south (Smitherman,, 1985). The Trample on Black People To show the fate of black slaves, Uncle Tom's Cabin has special historical value.

Labor is entirely carried out in the sticks and whip-driven by stress. Slaves have no interest in any labor, and labor is inefficient. Also, Uncle Tom's Cabin describes the slave trade in detail, so it has important historical value in the study of this issue. The slaves were supplied by natural breeding and smuggled from Africa. The Death of Tom Death is an eternal proposition that human beings cannot avoid, and it is also an important motif in literary works. He had two chances to get out of trouble, but he chose to give up. In the Bible, all the people who believe in and are loyal to God are entitled to God's grace and salvation without exception. Faith guides the soul,, and it is the greatest force.

Without faith, without hope, there is no love. Kindness, forgiveness and tolerance presented in Tom's body. When blacks got equal status in law, because of the deep-rooted influence of slavery, in many people, blacks were still humble. They recognized the black people's freedom status in law but made strict restrictions on the political rights and economic status of the black people. They recognized that slavery was no longer a legal, social system, but tried every means to keep the social structure before the civil war. After liberation, blacks were not divided into the land. They had to join in the new identity of the peasants in the plantation economy. By the beginning of the American War of independence, the number of black people in the United States had reached 500 thousand, most of whom were slaves of no personal freedom; before the American Civil War, the number of slaves in the South reached 4 million.

The slaves worked tirelessly in coffee and tobacco farms, regardless of the time of the day. Before the outbreak of the civil war, the United States produced 3. billion pounds of cotton per year. For this kind of good life to last long, the slave owners had to legalize the slavery system at that time. They believe that slavery to the blacks is the inherent right of the white people, which is by the textbook and is taken for granted. The Religious Reason One of the racial origins of religion is the sense of mission of white Americans. The sense of mission is given by God. Its early Christian faith originated in The Old Testament. The people of Israel consider themselves to be God's voters.

Moreover, in the process of the transformation from handicraft workshop to the big capitalist industry in the United States, slavery played a very important role as the foundation of the capitalist industry. Also, from the position of the United States in the world economy, slavery is an integral part of international capitalism, which is closely related to the capitalist world market. Conclusions 5. Main Findings Any literary works is the product of history. Uncle Tom's Cabin is no exception.
