Detailed explanation-1: -Summary: Chapter V Shelby, appalled, tries to convince her husband not to sell the slaves-after all, he has promised to set Tom free, and she has promised Eliza that Harry would not be taken away from her. But Mr. Shelby tells her that he must either sell those two slaves, or sell all of his property.
Detailed explanation-2: -Haley. The slave trader who buys Uncle Tom and Harry from Mr. Shelby. A gruff, coarse man, Haley presents himself as a kind individual who treats his slaves well.
