Uncle Tom's Cabin

by

Harriet Beecher Stowe

A neighbor of the Shelbys, Mr. Symmes helps Eliza and Harry to escape by not providing information of their whereabouts to their former master. He claims that, although Mr. Shelby might be angry, he feels he has no obligation to turn over slaves who desire their freedom so ardently, and work so hard to get it.
