The many faces and battles of Stowe

Throughout the book there are many characters who are struggling to discover some type balance of right and wrong.  I think that this is significant not only then but now as we try to be open with different ideas.  One of the things that she was ttrying to convey with this book is that either way they need to do more than just decide but act on what they think.  For example with the Shelby's seem to come to this grounding that they believe slavery is a shame they continue, because it fits their lifestye.  The person that acts on what they believe in the end is the George the Shelby's son.  The fact that he kept his promise is good to know in the end.  There is a really weird storyling that I think has some unrealistic qualities, but it served the purpose that Stowe wanted and is a good illustration of the moral batttle face in the beginnings of American History.
