Detailed explanation-1: -Because Ophelia insists on having legal control of Topsy, this child alone avoids the general sale of slaves when St. Clare dies and Marie inherits his property.

Detailed explanation-3: -Book Summary. Arthur Shelby, a Kentucky farmer and slaveowner, is forced by debt to sell two slaves-Uncle Tom and Harry, the young son of his wife’s servant Eliza-to a trader named Haley.
Detailed explanation-4: -Clare really wants Tom, claiming the high price is because Tom is truly pious. After buying Tom, St. Clare muses what the man would be worth if he were divided up and inventoried.
