Uncle Tom's Cabin is a advocacy novel. It should have been taken with a grain of salt.

In the same way, I have an issue with the term “has-been,” when the intended meaning is “someone who formerly was great but no longer is great.” In fact, “has-been” is present perfect, meaning “true in the past an continues to this day.” “[X] has been the greatest at his position,” meaning he still is the greatest.
Instead of saying that someone is a “has-been,” better to say that that person is a “was.” lol.

Far more people have opinions about Uncle Tom’s Cabin than have actually read it. Including, apparently, the author of this article.
