Three dates of the third month

On 20 March 1852

Harriet Beecher Stowe published her novel titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Two novel’s characters, Uncle Tom and Sambo have become famous, as representative of a category of Black men’s attitude towards Whites. Sambo is the Black who will denigrate his people to serve his White master. Sambo is a weak Black, but with enough dignity not to hurt his people. Sambo will beat Uncle Tom to death.
