Uncle Tom’s Cabin Uncle Tom’s Cabin was mainly an anti-slavery piece that protested the evils of slavery. However, in the story itself, the character of Uncle Tom is the first example of peaceful protest. When being persecuted by a cruel slave owner, Uncle Tom responds to harsh actions with love, and even manages to convert the two overseers that eventually beat him to death through the forgiveness of their actions. Peaceful protest as a tactic was made popular by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who advocated the power and the strength to love.
