Uncle Tom's Cabin

Submitted by Calderon on Thu, 03/06/2008 - 6:32am.
CalderonI strongly believe that religion is the central theme in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and is what unifies Blacksand Whites.  For instance, the fact that George teaches Tom how to read theBible and the belief that God will save them if they truly believe in Him. It seems to me as if r God were to both races the purpose of life.  I aminterested as to how this common belief is used as a vehicle to unified bothraces: White and Black throughout the book. I also think that she makes adifference in believing in God and Christianity. I think that Stowe plays with religion a lot and I feel as if she is telling me that religion is somewhat cynical (not the belief of God).
