Uncle Toms Cabin

---

This banned book was also a major part of the times. I remember reading it as a kid. Remember thinking slavery was bad , respected the black culture because of their character and nobleness. Same with Little Black Sambo, learned cleverness.

Might want to put on your list.

I am not sure if anyone else linked this, but I saw this article about non-US slaves and read it over the weekend:

It is an interesting tale.
