- March 20, 1852 - “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is published --
Harriet Beecher Stowe’s anti-slavery novel, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin", is published and was so widely read that when President Abraham Lincoln met Stowe in 1862, he reportedly said, “So this is the little lady who made this big war.”
Stowe was born in 1811, and while living in Cincinnati, Stowe encountered fugitive enslaved people and members of the Underground Railroad. Later, she wrote "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" in reaction to recently tightened fugitive slave laws. Even though fictional, the book had a major influence on the way the American public viewed slavery.
The 1927 film "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has no audible dialog, but it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Western Electric sound-on-film process. In this version of the film, all of the major slave roles, with the exception of Uncle Tom himself, were portrayed by white actors in black face. Actress Mona Ray played the slave Topsy in blackface while the slaves Eliza, George, Cassie, and Harry were all presented as having very light skin coloring because of mixed-race heritage.
It was first released on November 4, 1927.

لقد سبق لي أن قرات رواية "كوخ العم توم"، لهاريت بتشر ستو(Harriet Beecher Stowe)، و هي من الروايات التي كان لها تأثير في تغيير الرأي العام،من العبودية في الجنوب، حتى لينسب للرئيس "لنكولن"(Lincoln)،أنه قال بأن السيدة ستو، انتصرت حتى قبل أن ينتصر الشمال.
و هذا الفيلم (الصامت)،رائع، نشكركم على بثه على هذه القناة.💯
Who knew the movie that’s 100 years old could be so good…
Thank you, this broke my heart once again but that you for the reminder of how horrible it was. Back then. God help us all.
Wow. This was one amazing piece of history. To think of how hard these people worked to perform these stunts and the incredible acting. It completely moved me. And the storyline made me bawl.
Absolutely stunning piece of history. We need to be reminded daily that we all bleed the same color.
Thank you for sharing. This was a very well made movie.
With the success of Warners' "The Jazz Singer", which wasn't fully sound, studios quickly found ways to put their own music and sound effects to their silents. Fox's Movietone, RCA's Photophone and Western Electric all developed sound-on-film systems, while Warners and Paramount used synchronized 78rpm records with their films. It is historical in the sense of how it used sound, and some will rip it to shreds because of it's portrayal of Blacks and the use of blackface. That's just the way it was back then; a practice no longer used. The story did have a great effect on the nation in that era. After much of Universal's original camera negatives were destroyed by fire, I wasn't sure if a decent print on this, with the soundtrack, was still around. Good that it is.
I never expected a silent movie to make me cry so hard. I was, at first, appalled by the racial stereotypes used at the beginning of the film. But this seems to be intended to meet prejudiced viewers halfway. Once the plot takes off, each character and his or her weakness is shown in context. The way in which either education, care and love, or ignorance, neglect and brutality affect the human development is demonstrated in little scenes on the story sidelines. Better films have been made since. But for the time of it´s production, 1927, I think the film is amazing. I appreciate that the essence of the book also became the major theme of the film: that slavery is a rotten system that cannot be justified or mended by "kind masters" like the Shelby family . Therefore, the abolition of slavery is the only solution that will end the cruelty and injustice portraited here.
I cried when I first read the book at the age of 12.😢😢😢
Having seen the film I think it would be more poignant if the two lead characters were to be imaged as black both are great actors but it doesn't help the story and New viewers to see them as whitewill confuse because in '27 they would not let lead actors be black!
Ow &w hite films are being colorised. It adds to the story told by Harriet Beecher Stowe .
Just to finish, America is in line for another Civil War Trump and the Republicans are gagging for a fight. He's already tried insurrection.
Next we'll see Civil War and hopefully the the bigot and white extremists will be finally defeated.
I agree the filmis a bem
ME TOO
Very interesting! Different ending from the book. Spolier alert: Tom's former owner, who had to sell him in a sudden financial crash, finally found him as he was dying from the beating. He saw Tom die. His former owner threatened Legree with a charge of murder, but he laughed and said no court would take the case against him. He bought Tom's body and Legree couldn't understand how a man could care so much for a slaves corpse. As Tom was being beaten to death, he said "I feel bad for you" at Legree. Tom was certain of going to heaven, he seemed to indicate Legree was going to hell. It only made the beating worse. It's a short part of the book, I remember it mentions the horrible sounds made when a human body is beaten severely. Scary stuff, glad it's 2024!
I never expected to see this movie on here. But I'm glad I did because I bought the book a few years ago and could not get through it. It was so wordy and I couldn't keep the characters straight. So I was glad to watch it on CZcams.
Thank you so much for this gem. As a precaution, I downloaded it to still have access to it in case that the cultural warriors on the left (cf. blackfacing etc. etc.) appear on the scene and do not rest until it is being taken off YT.
As someone who leans left, I would hope no one flags this or tries to have it removed. The movie was made in 1927 and with that said, it is what it is. Additionally, I think it's extremely important this stays up as it gives us so much insight to how things were 100 years ago as well as before and during the Civil War. It's difficult and sad to watch, but deserves to be acknowledged and remembered.
I’m far left and wouldn’t want this taken down. History is important. I think it’s the radicals you’re thinking of. Radical left or right is dangerous. Things like basic bodily autonomy gets taken away when radicals make choices for others
what? thats like banning textbooks or librar.... oh wait... the radical right is already doing that
This is just a movie, folks please make nothing further of it. They used the actors that they had. I thought it was good. The scene where the little girl dies made me cry. Very touching, if you get your mind off your racial views and just watch a movie. Everyone needs to quit criticizing everything, enjoy the hard work done in this old film.
I imagine hearing the music from King and I Small House of Uncle Thomas playing in my head.
WONDERFUL MOVIE SO DEAR THESE DAYS, THANK YOU GREAT PRINT.
I wish Uncle tom were alive returing homeand lived with wife and three children ...emotional scenes ❤❤
There was snow because that scene was taking place in Kentucky where are often snows in winter the rest of the movie takes place in Louisiana
Thank you for sharing this film gem. 👍
Wow didn’t know there was a movie based on this famous book! Gonna watch when I get off work yay
Thank you for the movies ❤
Read White Slaves- Chapter Three of “The Forgotten Cause of the Civil War: A New Look at the Slavery Issue”
by Lawrence R. Tenzer
The Civil war was caused by the South wanting to spread slavery west to CA, NM and the other territories. The South knew it was a minority in Congress and would lose what little power it had in DC if any more free states entered the Union.
Master piece....🙏🇮🇳
The bride looks like Jethro from Beverly Hill billy😅
I winced at the stereotypes. All the same, this movie made me at times cry, get mad, or sit on the edge of my seat in suspense. I think I'll read the book, since it's an important part of American history.
I wish the end was more like the book. The producers changed it quite a bit. In the book, though Uncle Tom dies, he is triumphant, and Legree basically goes insane and dies.
A well made movie, 1927...but the content is stomach churning
That was the intent. Tubman needed the uninformed to understand just how bad chattel slavery could be. The Protagonist goes from an almost freed man, to eventually dying while still in slavery. In her book, though Uncle Tom dies he is triumphant, while Legree, who killed him, goes insane and dies abandoned by nearly all men.
“The book that started a war” Lincoln when he met the author
1927?
@michiganmymichigan asked: Oh boy! Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses!
@@michignamymichigan I guess that's the date the movie was released or filmed.
Great film 🎥 thanks post this one of stories back then I remember seeing this when I was a kid
Thank you. Wowza
Mui bueno.
Muchas gracias
Such good movie and touch my heart❤ contains trick shots, very impressive, good story telling, make every one cry, never expect from silent movie, but still slavery never ends, take a new ways
Thanks!
Yeah. I cant watch this any more.
At present watching ds film frm India 🙏🇮🇳
I love it! But the ending part of the movie is very different from the original novel I read in my childhood.
😱😱👌👌👍👍 This is an absolutely amazing film. The life of happiness and sadness of all in those days. At the end of the day... Topsy "Mona Ray" is the one whom stands out most and an amazing girl/woman actress. What was her story after this film?
That was quite a bit of acting, regardless of how distasteful it might otherwise have been.
It cost 600.000 lives whereas
Britain abolished it in 1834
Without so high a death toll!
They wised up sooner- we started breeding them! So horrible
Rome did not use blacks as slaves (preferring to use the whites of Gaul, germanic Ps, and the britons). Blacks wrote the Bible, but now r the days of the white americans being the real slaves, of the lowest wages known to the white skin. It was king james that stole the words from the dark skinned racist moses, so as to cement his power over the white peasants. and the white man has been a slave ever since.
Brits did allow for discrimination against non Upper class members, until after world war one.
Free Blacks saved General George Washington at the Battle of Long Island, from the British.
so, even Free Blacks preferred to help the racist whites from their own enslavement to the british made king named george. RIP the first Hero of the Revolution, C Attucks. a black man.
The Civil was had nothing to do with slavery
@@ucc1-308 the letter 's' is not located near the letter 'r'. so why did u use the word 'was' where the word 'war' should have been typed?
only 3% of Southern whites owned slaves at the time of the outbreak of the dumbest war over a really bad business model.
most folks figure the 97% of the Southern whites were so stupid, real low class, that God wanted them to die so as to make way for a better white.
the business model of slavery does not grow an economy. slaves do not get gross wages, which r the Key to all GDP.
profits never go into the GDP, as per the formula.
since u figure the Civil war was not over slavery and the use of a really bad business model, then what was the cause of the dumb white war?
the cause was the want to enslave bodies instead of paying them. causing recessionary trends. //
i do thank u for volunteering to work really hard for low gross wages. U helped the current Shareholder / Master Class make out like bandits, without having to use chains or wipes or chainsaws.
so thank u U helped prove the theory 'paying slaves makes more cents that add to the GDP than if the slaves were not paid more than clothing and food and housing'. grade 10 business class teaches 'how stew=pid slavery is and how slavery does not add to an economy'.
Happy Easter Monday
@@ucc1-308 The South seceded over slavery; it's the only reason listed in their secession declarations, so the Civil war was indeed very much about slavery, at least on the side of the South, anyway.
enjoyed this film? read the book.
Uhhhh, Miss Eva and Topsy ! 😢😢😢
The escape scenne across the frozen river is as thrilling any you might see today.
This was the reality of slavery, and you can understand the resentment black americans have against the republican racists.
A second civil war is likely to finally defeat the racists in America.
I am literally sick to my stomach watching this.
Who r here after knowing, bhagat singh watched this...
Me😊
Great movie
I'm kind of disheartened because after the civil Rights movement which I agree with, a lot of Black folk are not very law abiding, and it really is heartbreaking, because a lot of their predecessors work so hard for their freedom😢😢😢😢
I could say the same about trans people not being really law abiding because in the south there’s a lot of trans people that go after children. If you’re gonna be racist, at least have your stereotypes right and stop stereotyping Black people the living your neighborhood. Because NOT all Black people are committing crimes you’re seeing a majority of blacks, live in cities, They have lower quality of life so they commit crimes TO LIVE. Maybe the far right is right about trans people…. But then that would be stereotyping.
oh my.... please explain
Let’s congratulate ourselves on how unprejudiced we are today compared to those BAD people of the past.
Not so fast
I didn't know that there were White Slaves?!
Ain't Life Strange... Interesting posting. Thank You
Yes
Back then they said that anyone born to a woman with a single drop of African American blood in her was Black. As the breeders turned to lighter and lighter skinned people, visually it was impossible to tell the difference. But one of Thomas Jefferson's slaves was his half sister, born to a slave woman impregnated by his father. .... Anyway, race is a social construct. The physical characteristics amount to only about 1% of the DNA.
Read White Slaves- Chapter Three of “The Forgotten Cause of the Civil War: A New Look at the Slavery Issue”

They would be the children of slave owners and slaves. No matter how white they looked, they were still slaves in the eyes of the South. SMH.
They are not white according to law
I'm so confused...
interessante
I guess 1927 is when the film was made, is that why the date was shown?
Yes
Yes, 1927 was the year this movie was made.
is this a difficult concept to grasp?
@@templedrake6890 there's always a Mr smart guy. The opening scene was obviously in the 19th century, and then it displayed 1927, if it said the film was made in "27, then it would have made more sense.
@@whoknows2054 Glad you were finally able to catch up.
The slaves seemed like they loved being on the plantation. They were always singing and dancing and laughing.
Isn’t there a brand of rice called Uncle Tom’s? 😮
100 years old and plenty of high drama. But- white actors as Blacks??
That's how they did things back then and yes, it was bad.
Only thing surprised me was the snow. Snow in the old south?
This movie theme must have been pretty radical for its time.
But I find it heartbreaking.
It must have posed quite a conundrum to white viewers.
It would be hard to watch for an African American though for the stereotyping and mockery .
Yay Canada. But still segration by default here even now.
A blizzard.
I THINK MR LINCOLN WAS A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.
Doesnt follow the book.
Broken families back then due to democrats. Broken families today, with over 70% unmarried, due to previous democrat welfare programs that paid to single moms.
And all 3 looks white
Good grief. Topsy is a painted white!
😂 The way you said that! 😂
This was before inclusion. The lengths they took to keep things segregated was astounding. Unfortunately, they would have had to use a white boy to interact with a young girl least they have the viewers in an uproar.
The bride and groom are supposed to be black? 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Going by the storyline in the film I took it that they were Mulatto.
I wonder if that's what they HAD to do (at that time in history), in order to get more white butts in seats. After all, THAT was the group that needed to start "seeing" what had been in front of them for years, and to make them care about it. Honestly, I don't think anything will truly change for the better on this planet. It's set up exactly as planned, and will remain so, unfortunately.
They are black
As a white guy that self identifies as an oppressed black woman- I expect my reparations NOW..
Thank you..

Anti-Confederate propaganda. Lol
LOL, what are you talking about? It can't be anti something that doesn't exist and the confederacy hasn't existed for nearly 200 years.
You pro slavery? How very sickening.
Uncle Toms Cabin was inspired by the true accounts of actual slaves. No brutality that happened to the slaves in that book was made up. SMH. And you could learn even worse if you ever read My Life as a Slave. Smh. I can’t believe how brutal one race could be to another.
