Harriet Beecher Stowe's
Uncle Tom's Cabin Initially, publishers shied away from Stowe’s novel because of its regional divisiveness; but finally John Jewett, encouraged by his wife, decided to publish the book. Stowe’s two-volume novel sold a staggering 10,000 copies in its first week, and 300,000 copies by the end of its first year.
