De Negerhut by Harriet Beecher Stowe
"De Negerhut" by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book addresses the harsh realities of slavery in North America, particularly focusing on the lives of enslaved individuals like Tom and Eliza, who navigate their struggles for freedom and dignity in a society that dehumanizes them. The opening of "De Negerhut" introduces readers to a conversation between Mr. Shelby and Mr. Haley, a slave trader, in which
they discuss the impending sale of Mr. Shelby’s enslaved workers due to his financial troubles. Mr. Shelby expresses regret over the potential sale of Tom, an honest and dedicated worker, and the heartbreaking implications it has for Tom’s life and the lives of those around him. Eliza, a young mother, overhears their conversation and is filled with dread at the thought of her child being sold. This anxious beginning sets a somber tone, showcasing the emotional turmoil of the characters and foreshadowing the significant moral dilemmas they will face as the story unfolds.
