Detailed explanation-1: -A major theme in Uncle Tom’s Cabin is the problem of slavery and the treatment of humans as property, concepts that Stowe counterbalanced against the morality of Christianity. Stowe’s depiction of slavery in her novel was informed by her Christianity and by her immersion in abolitionist writings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Uncle Tom’s Cabin focuses on the struggles of a slave, Tom, who has been sold numerous times and has to endure physical brutality by slave drivers and his masters. One of Stowe’s central themes is that Tom, despite his suffering, remained steadfast to his Christian beliefs.
