March 20, 1852 - “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is published --
Harriet Beecher Stowe’s anti-slavery novel, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin", is published and was so widely read that when President Abraham Lincoln met Stowe in 1862, he reportedly said, “So this is the little lady who made this big war.”
Stowe was born in 1811, and while living in Cincinnati, Stowe encountered fugitive enslaved people and members of the Underground Railroad. Later, she wrote "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" in reaction to recently tightened fugitive slave laws. Even though fictional, the book had a major influence on the way the American public viewed slavery.
The 1927 film "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has no audible dialog, but it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Western Electric sound-on-film process. In this version of the film, all of the major slave roles, with the exception of Uncle Tom himself, were portrayed by white actors in black face. Actress Mona Ray played the slave Topsy in blackface while the slaves Eliza, George, Cassie, and Harry were all presented as having very light skin coloring because of mixed-race heritage.
It was first released on November 4, 1927.

@agirlandherdog98 5 месяцев назад

As someone who leans left, I would hope no one flags this or tries to have it removed. The movie was made in 1927 and with that said, it is what it is. Additionally, I think it's extremely important this stays up as it gives us so much insight to how things were 100 years ago as well as before and during the Civil War. It's difficult and sad to watch, but deserves to be acknowledged and remembered.

@evelinharmannfan7191 5 месяцев назад

I never expected a silent movie to make me cry so hard. I was, at first, appalled by the racial stereotypes used at the beginning of the film. But this seems to be intended to meet prejudiced viewers halfway. Once the plot takes off, each character and his or her weakness is shown in context. The way in which either education, care and love, or ignorance, neglect and brutality affect the human development is demonstrated in little scenes on the story sidelines. Better films have been made since. But for the time of it´s production, 1927, I think the film is amazing. I appreciate that the essence of the book also became the major theme of the film: that slavery is a rotten system that cannot be justified or mended by "kind masters" like the Shelby family . Therefore, the abolition of slavery is the only solution that will end the cruelty and injustice portraited here.

Having seen the film I think it would be more poignant if the two lead characters were to be imaged as black both are great actors but it doesn't help the story and New viewers to see them as whitewill confuse because in '27 they would not let lead actors be black! Ow &w hite films are being colorised. It adds to the story told by Harriet Beecher Stowe . Just to finish, America is in line for another Civil War Trump and the Republicans are gagging for a fight. He's already tried insurrection. Next we'll see Civil War and hopefully the the bigot and white extremists will be finally defeated. I agree the filmis a bem

With the success of Warners' "The Jazz Singer", which wasn't fully sound, studios quickly found ways to put their own music and sound effects to their silents. Fox's Movietone, RCA's Photophone and Western Electric all developed sound-on-film systems, while Warners and Paramount used synchronized 78rpm records with their films. It is historical in the sense of how it used sound, and some will rip it to shreds because of it's portrayal of Blacks and the use of blackface. That's just the way it was back then; a practice no longer used. The story did have a great effect on the nation in that era. After much of Universal's original camera negatives were destroyed by fire, I wasn't sure if a decent print on this, with the soundtrack, was still around. Good that it is.

@tomy.1846 15 дней назад

Very interesting! Different ending from the book. Spolier alert: Tom's former owner, who had to sell him in a sudden financial crash, finally found him as he was dying from the beating. He saw Tom die. His former owner threatened Legree with a charge of murder, but he laughed and said no court would take the case against him. He bought Tom's body and Legree couldn't understand how a man could care so much for a slaves corpse. As Tom was being beaten to death, he said "I feel bad for you" at Legree. Tom was certain of going to heaven, he seemed to indicate Legree was going to hell. It only made the beating worse. It's a short part of the book, I remember it mentions the horrible sounds made when a human body is beaten severely. Scary stuff, glad it's 2024!

@annep.1905 4 месяца назад

That was the intent. Tubman needed the uninformed to understand just how bad chattel slavery could be. The Protagonist goes from an almost freed man, to eventually dying while still in slavery. In her book, though Uncle Tom dies he is triumphant, while Legree, who killed him, goes insane and dies abandoned by nearly all men.

@annep.1905 4 месяца назад

I wish the end was more like the book. The producers changed it quite a bit. In the book, though Uncle Tom dies, he is triumphant, and Legree basically goes insane and dies.

Rome did not use blacks as slaves (preferring to use the whites of Gaul, germanic Ps, and the britons). Blacks wrote the Bible, but now r the days of the white americans being the real slaves, of the lowest wages known to the white skin. It was king james that stole the words from the dark skinned racist moses, so as to cement his power over the white peasants. and the white man has been a slave ever since. Brits did allow for discrimination against non Upper class members, until after world war one. Free Blacks saved General George Washington at the Battle of Long Island, from the British. so, even Free Blacks preferred to help the racist whites from their own enslavement to the british made king named george. RIP the first Hero of the Revolution, C Attucks. a black man.

@@ucc1-308 the letter 's' is not located near the letter 'r'. so why did u use the word 'was' where the word 'war' should have been typed? only 3% of Southern whites owned slaves at the time of the outbreak of the dumbest war over a really bad business model. most folks figure the 97% of the Southern whites were so stupid, real low class, that God wanted them to die so as to make way for a better white. the business model of slavery does not grow an economy. slaves do not get gross wages, which r the Key to all GDP. profits never go into the GDP, as per the formula. since u figure the Civil war was not over slavery and the use of a really bad business model, then what was the cause of the dumb white war? the cause was the want to enslave bodies instead of paying them. causing recessionary trends. // i do thank u for volunteering to work really hard for low gross wages. U helped the current Shareholder / Master Class make out like bandits, without having to use chains or wipes or chainsaws. so thank u U helped prove the theory 'paying slaves makes more cents that add to the GDP than if the slaves were not paid more than clothing and food and housing'. grade 10 business class teaches 'how stew=pid slavery is and how slavery does not add to an economy'.

@Katsnacks 4 месяца назад

I could say the same about trans people not being really law abiding because in the south there’s a lot of trans people that go after children. If you’re gonna be racist, at least have your stereotypes right and stop stereotyping Black people the living your neighborhood. Because NOT all Black people are committing crimes you’re seeing a majority of blacks, live in cities, They have lower quality of life so they commit crimes TO LIVE. Maybe the far right is right about trans people…. But then that would be stereotyping.

Back then they said that anyone born to a woman with a single drop of African American blood in her was Black. As the breeders turned to lighter and lighter skinned people, visually it was impossible to tell the difference. But one of Thomas Jefferson's slaves was his half sister, born to a slave woman impregnated by his father. .... Anyway, race is a social construct. The physical characteristics amount to only about 1% of the DNA.
