Aunt Chloe
A slave-owner in New Orleans, St. Clare is Tom’s second owner. He is a character of complex morality: he does not condone slavery and believes God will strike back against this injustice, but until Eva’s death and Tom’s intervention, he does not know what he can do to help the plight of Southern slaves. After he resolves to free Tom and live a more Christian life, he is killed accidentally in a fight at a café.

Quotes
On this abstract question of slavery there can, as I think, be but one opinion. Planters, who have money to make by it—clergymen, who have planters to please—politicians, who want to rule by it—may warp and bend language . . . they can press nature and the Bible . . . into their service; but, after all, neither they nor the world believe in it one particle the more.
