The most tragic work of art is “Uncle Tom Cabin” which portrays a life of slavery in the United States

Today one of the most tragic work of art is “Uncle Tom Cabin” which portrays a life of slavery in the United States, [a work] probably still alive after about 200 years. These are the realities about the United States; this is the American government; this is the distinguishing feature that introduced the American system to the world with no freedom and no human equality. What equality?! You do not consider black and white [people] as equal yet. Even nowadays in your opinion the native Indian blood of a person is considered a weakness for him/her in every stage of bureaucratic processes.
