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: -Mrs. Shelby is horrified; he has promised Tom his freedom, and she has assured Eliza her child is safe. Shelby admits that Haley held a mortgage on their property and that he was forced to choose between selling those two and selling everything, including all their slaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the story, Uncle Tom is a slave of Authur Shelby who was sold to a different master despite being a loyal slave who had a true respect and love for his master. Mr. Shelby was a kinder master than most, and rarely beat his slaves. The only reason he was going to sell them was because he was in great debt.
Detailed explanation-4: -Shelby sees the appalling nature of slavery but is very prideful. So much so he rather sell off Tom, his most loyal slave, rather than let Mrs. Shelby and his son see the finances that brought them to this situation in the first place.
