REVIEW:
Uncle Tom's Cabin & American Culture is a gold mine of primary documents dealing with the era from 1830 to 1930. Included are pretexts, Stowe's Uncle Toms and responses to the book, movie clips, and 3-D images. Students and teachers can use this site to explore the story through the full e-text and playable songs from the novel as well as study a comparison of the manuscript, novel, and newspaper serial versions of the story. In the Interpret Mode, users will find an interactive timeline and an interpretive exhibit of Uncle Tom's Cabin and Slavery. A lesson plan section is in the making.
