De Slavernij: Vervolg en Sleutel op De Negerhut by Harriet Beecher Stowe
"De Slavernij: Vervolg en Sleutel op De Negerhut" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work serves as a follow-up to her earlier novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," presenting factual evidence and statements that substantiate the horrific reality of slavery. Stowe aims to highlight the moral and religious imperative against the institution of slavery, examining its devastating effects on both enslaved individuals and society at large.The opening of the book introduces Stowe's intention to provide a thorough examination of the institution of slavery by compiling real events and testimonies that illustrate its harshness and inhumanity. Stowe acknowledges the limitations of her depiction; she aims to balance the extreme realities of slavery with the narrative's artistic integrity while asserting that the truth must be told without evasion. The first chapters introduce key characters, beginning with the slave trader Mr. Haley, showcasing the cold and transactional nature of the slave trade, and establishing the foundation for exploring the complex relationships between enslaved individuals and their masters, particularly through relatable characters like the Shelbys and the enslaved George Harris.
