“One, Huck Finn is THE American classic, and is perhaps the greatest anti-racism novel ever written.”

But what about Uncle Tom’s Cabin?

Great anti-slavery/anti-racist novel: “According to legend, Abraham Lincoln greeted Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 by saying “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war.” Whether the story is true or not, the sentiment underscores the public connection between Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the Civil War.”

Anyway, have a great day.

Cheers!

Yes but a woman wrote that.

Can’t be as good.

Really just another selfish little trouble-maker, like Helen, or Cleopatra.

Kidding! Just kidding!!
