The Planter's Northern Bride

The Planter's Northern Bride is an 1854 novel written by Caroline Lee Hentz, in response to the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1852.

Unlike other examples of anti-Tom literature (aka "plantation literature"), the title The Planter's Northern Bride is not a pun on Uncle Tom's Cabin, as was the case with Uncle Robin, in His Cabin in Virginia, and Tom Without One in Boston (1853).

[1] The novel, unlike previous examples of plantation literature, criticized abolitionism in the United States and how easily anti-slavery organisations such as the Underground Railroad could be manipulated by pro-slavery superiors – a concept previously discussed in Rev.

Baynard Rush Hall's earlier anti-Tom novel, Frank Freeman's Barber Shop (1852).

[2] The book's main character is Eulalia, a young daughter of an abolitionist from New England and the wife of a plantation owner named Moreland.
