I've got a question I can't work it out,so I need someone's help
The South ,that languorous land where() groaned biblically underneath the lash.
A:Uncle Sam B:Uncle Tom C:Dutch Jim D:Uncle JIm
What is the right answer ?And is there any other meaning of the "uncle".
Thanks for your help
My guess would be B, Uncle Tom.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a famous book against slave ownership in the Southern USA, which is called: "Uncle Tom's cabin" (1852)
In this book, the main character, Uncle Tom, is at several occasions whipped and finally dies.
It's very famous and Uncle Tom's suffering has become exemplary for the slavery in the south.
