As the single most popular novel of its era, Stowe¿s volatile work of protest fiction fueled the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. The book personalized the plight of slavery in a way that political speeches and newspapers could not. Stowe¿s humanistic approach ignited a national argument, one credited by historians as a key contributor to the outbreak of the Civil War.
