The book serves as a companion piece to Stowe's famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin," providing factual evidence, documents, and corroborative statements to verify the realities of slavery depicted in the fictional narrative. It aims to draw attention to the moral and ethical implications of slavery, evoking a serious contemplation of a deeply troubling institution.  The opening of "A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin" begins with a preface wherein Stowe openly shares her struggle in writing this non-fiction work, emphasizing that slavery is an intrinsically dreadful subject. She notes that her task has expanded beyond her original intent, driven by the need to confront the painful truths surrounding slavery as a moral question. The first chapter focuses on various dynamics of the slave trade, illustrated through characters such as Mr. Haley, a slave trader, shedding light on the grim realities faced by individuals caught in this trade. Stowe underscores that the depictions in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," while fictionalized, are based on real events and sentiments, thus legitimizing the emotional and physical toll inflicted upon those ensnared in slavery.
