* UnbuiltTrope: In the years since the book's release, "{{Uncle Tom|foolery}}" has become a byword for the CategoryTraitor in American culture, especially when referring to Black people seen as selling out their own kind. That reputation comes entirely from the {{minstrel show}}s put on in the late 19th century that parodied the novel and portrayed Tom as an idiot. In the book, Tom was anything ''but''. He was a straightforward hero who Stowe intended as a paragon of Christian morality, one who is willing to give his life for his beliefs and to help other slaves escape.
