Start of American Civil War
Figurine of Uncle Tom and Eva, characters from the book Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, an emotional account of slavery from a slave's point of view (although the author was a white woman with no experience of slavery). It was a great success and has been seen as a major cause of the American Civil War.
