Uncle Tom

rdfs:comment

Uncle Tom, born Mustafa Mubutu-ibn-Jabezz al-Ifrica, was a fourth generation free black. Raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Uncle Tom lived at the heart of the abolitionist movement. However, as a young man, he began to question the assumption of racial equality, wondering if he, and other black people, were as good as white people. He is also said to have questioned if all white people were equal, proposing that some people, like kings, lords, and very wealthy, were in fact much better than common white people. However, Uncle Tom made peace with American democracy, viewing the question of the inequality of white people to be issue better left to the white man to work out.

Uncle Tom, born Mustafa Mubutu-ibn-Jabezz al-Ifrica, was a fourth generation free black. Raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Uncle Tom lived at the heart of the abolitionist movement. However, as a young man, he began to question the assumption of racial equality, wondering if he, and other black people, were as good as white people. He is also said to have questioned if all white people were equal, proposing that some people, like kings, lords, and very wealthy, were in fact much better than common white people. However, Uncle Tom made peace with American democracy, viewing the question of the inequality of white people to be issue better left to the white man to work out. The turning point for Uncle came in 1831, when he heard of the atrocities of Nat Turner's rebellion. Viewing this as proof that racial equality only leads to bloodshed, Uncle Tom resolved to flee the relative freedom of Boston for slavery in the south. Leaving his family and possessions behind, Uncle Tom journeyed down to South Carolina, and sold himself into slavery to noted statesman and werewolf John Caldwell Calhoun.
