from Who Was Who: 5000 B. C. to Date

TOM

Uncle, an old negro actor who appeared in every city,
town, village, and hamlet in the United States north of the
Confederate States.  His history was written by Mrs. H. B.
Stowe, and was the match which kindled the Civil War.  The
Northerners have since learned that all negroes are not Uncle
Toms, and are wondering whether any mistakes were made back in
1861.
