The novel does have some factual basis, although calling it "based on a true story" is a bit of an overstatement. It is a fictional story, but the author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, drew her inspiration for the title character from the life and times of a real man named Josiah Henson.

No it was not a true story!!

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" was based on the experiences and stories of real-life enslaved individuals that author Harriet Beecher Stowe encountered, as well as the broader issue of slavery in the United States during the 19th century. While the character of Uncle Tom himself was not based on a specific person, Stowe's novel helped bring attention to the horrors of slavery and became a key piece of abolitionist literature.
