Uncle Tom's Cabin opens with a Kentucky farmer named Arthur Shelby
facing the loss of his farm because of debts. Even though he and his
wife, Emily Shelby, believe that they have a benevolent relationship
with their slaves, Shelby decides to raise the needed funds by selling
two of them---Uncle Tom, a middle-aged man with a wife and children, and
Harry, the son of Emily Shelby's maid Eliza---to a slave trader. Emily
Shelby hates the idea of doing this because she had promised her maid
that her child would never be sold; Emily's son, George Shelby, hates to
see Tom go because he sees the old man as his friend and mentor.
