The history of America is profoundly linked to White supremacy, the belief in the White people's supremacy over those of other races. African American literature often reflects the racial hierarchy of the 19th-century United States and its slavery system and representing a point of discrimination between Black and White populations. Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe is a novel published in 1852 that played a significant role in shaping public opinions and attitudes towards slavery in the United States. By applying CRT, this study critically examines the novel’s portrayal of Black characters, the dynamics of power between races, and the underlying assumptions about race that inform the narrative. The analysis reveals how the text both challenges and upholds white supremacy, reflecting the complexities and contradictions in early abolitionist literature.
