Detailed explanation-1: -Unfortunately, in a freak accident, he dies shortly after Eva, and his selfish wife Marie sends all the St. Clare slaves – for whom he made no legal provision in his will – on the auction block. St. Clare’s revolution is short-lived.
Detailed explanation-2: -When St. Clare dies, Miss Ophelia takes Topsy back to Vermont with her, where she turns into a good, Christian woman.
Detailed explanation-3: -St. Clare brings Topsy home partly in order to tease his cousin and partly to see what Ophelia will do with the child, who incorporates both facets of Ophelia’s self-contradiction: Topsy is absolutely ignorant, and she is very dark-skinned.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
