The lessons in Unit 3 will be most useful after students have read several chapters of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Various cultural artifacts from the Uncle Tom's Cabin and American Culture website will challenge students to consider how different readers have responded to the novel in Stowe's own day and since. The lessons in this unit examine book reviews by Stowe's northern and southern contemporaries, visions of a post-slavery America, and the transformation of Uncle Tom's Cabin into various forms of popular culture.
