Abstract

Discrimination can have devastating effect. Racial discrimination occurs because the white race feels more dominant and superior than the black race. As result, the Negro or black race lives under the dominance of whites. They live in poverty, slavery, human trafficking, and physical abuse. Many black race members struggled to live under poverty and torture. There were no laws governing black rights at the time so that the dominance of whites and their treatment of black people could not be stopped. In this connection, researchers are interested in raising topics related to racial discrimination in Harriet Becheer Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's cabin.
