“Stowe made explicit the Christian vision behind her novel: “There is a ladder to heaven…through which the soul rises higher and higher, refining as she goes…” [Each] of her characters occupies a different rung of the ladder, with Black characters like Topsy and Tom at the bottom.” Balderdash. Topsy, sure, but Tom is a freaking saint. Stowe would absolutely have put him at the top of the ladder.
