On the boat Tom befriends an angelic little girl named Eva and when the girl falls overboard Tom saves her. At his new home Tom is given the responsibility of keeping his masters books. The slave trader, Haley, along with two slaves track Eliza down but she narrowly escapes by jumping into a river. Clare is married to an awful woman named Marie ,His cousin Miss. Harriet Beecher Stowe was referred to by Abe Lincoln as the little woman who started the Civil War. Uncle Tom’s Cabin would appeal to mostly people seriously interested in the Civil War. Ophelia ,an honest and incredibly independent woman, lives with them to help care for Eva. She shows how hard slavery was on mothers who often had to deal with the lose of their young children. She is pleased with Eliza and Harry’s escape. Emmiline was bought despite her mother’s attempts to disguise her beauty to save her from this fate.

I found this book slightly boring. Also he is spreading his good word by trying to reform his new master, whom we learn feels he isn’t cut out for slavery.
