The book starts out where Uncle Tom is sold to a trader because of his owner’s debts. Mr. Shelby is the owner of Uncle Tom and many other slaves. He saves a girl's life, Eva, while on a boat, and her father buys him. He spends several years in New Orleans at their house. While he was there he helped St. Clare, the father, find God. When Eva and St. Clare die, he is sold to an evil plantation owner. On the plantation, he continues to be pious, even when everything seems to have turned from God. He helps two women escape and is beaten to death, but gets to see his original master's son before he dies.
At the same time that Uncle Tom was sold, Eliza and Harry, two other slaves of Mr. Shelby, escape upon learning that their owner intended to sell Harry, Eliza's son. They meet George, Eliza's husband who is also escapi
. . .
They meet another woman, George's Sister, and go to Canada to see their family. Uncle Tom's story is an example of a bondage narrative, while the other plots are examples of freedom narratives. They escape separately but meet in a Quaker settlement, where most of the scenes take place. One of the women from the plantation is Eliza's mother. When he returns he sets his slaves free. Weaving these two opposing stories together enabled Stowe to reveal the horrors of slavery through Tom's decline, while keeping the inspiring plot of possibilities with the escape of Eliza and George and Cassy and Emmeline. It is in this house that Miss Ophelia struggles with training Topsy and that Eva and St. Mas'r George, the young master, is growing up throughout the beginning of the book and at the end leaves Kentucky to go to the plantation to find Tom. ng, and, with much help from the Quakers, make it into Canada. The reunion takes place in Canada, and they then go to France for George's education, then back to the United States and finally to Africa. The entire family eventually goes to Africa to start a new nation. The Shelby family owns a house in Kentucky with a farm and slaves, including Tom.
