How could the release of Uncle Tom’s Cabin lead to fanatacism in the North and South before the Civil War?

Please don’t misunderstand, I am in no way saying slavery was okay. This isn’t about that.
What I’m saying is that Uncle Tom’s Cabin incited a LOT of people to fight for the rights of blacks, and it also incited other people to fight to KEEP blacks as a slave class.
Sounds a lot like what’s going on right now with the illegal aliens. If you Google “illegal immigration,” you may find more insights into your original question than you can even understand!
Good luck!

Before leaving Kentucky, however, Haley buys several more slaves, and one of them (a young mother whose infant Haley sells without her knowledge) commits suicide. More…..
