Uncle Tom's Cabin - Simon Legree Confronts Tom

From Uncle Tom's Cabin Reconsidered - http://www.uncletomscabindvd.com Far along in Uncle Tom's story, Little Eva has died, her father (and Tom's second owner), the kindly St. Clare has been killed, and Tom has been sold at auction to the cruel plantation owner Simon Legree. In this scene Legree confronts Tom, demanding information about the runaway slaves Emmeline and Cassie. Tom, in the face of the threat of death by beating, stands up to Legree, in stark contrast to what we now, in modern times, think it means to be an "Uncle Tom." Refusing to divulge any information he stays true to his moral principles, confident that while Legree may have sway over his mortal body, he can do no harm to his immortal soul.
