The life that the slaves had to live was upsetting to Eva and she strove to change the people who made their lives horrible, for example Eva's mother. Stowe used religion well throughout the novel, particularly in Eve and Uncle Tom, to represent his thoughts on how religion must intensify for slavery to end. Stowe uses different perspectives of people affected by slavery and what they did to influence the abolition movement. Uncle Tom's Cabin begins when Mr. Shelby, a plantation owner, sells two of his slaves: Uncle Tom and Henry. The book follows the point of view of Uncle Tom and Henry's mother, Eliza. Eliza heard about her young son's fate and decided she needed to keep him safe. While on the run, Eliza meets her husband, George Harris, who had run away a couple of days earlier. Both decided that the best solution was to flee to Canada. A bounty man, Tom Loker, has been hunting Eliza and her family, which leads George to push Loker off a cliff to protect his wife and son. Eliza feared that Loker would die, so she and her husband rescued the man and took him to a nearby Quaker community.
