Answer:
Slavery impacted families. Slavery not only inhibited family formation but made stable, secure family life difficult if not impossible. Once an enslaved woman gave birth, her child was taken from her and sold to someone else. Many of the slaves did not know their parents or any family. Enslaved people could also not legally marry in any American colony or state. The theme of slavery impacting families can be seen in Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. This theme can be seen throughout the novel. It is best exemplified by the Harris family. George Harris was forced to escape and left his family behind. George explained that he will not be gone forever. He planned to return to America as a free man, with money, and buy Eliza and Harry himself to free them, too. He had to leave his family behind so he could maybe save them from the evils of slavery. Eliza Harris' son was sold away. At the end of the novel, the Harris family rediscovers lost loved ones.
