The Liberator
[Unsigned Reprint]
Boston: 16 December 1853

  Barnum and Uncle Tom.—To make amends for the manner in which the New York theatres have set the South at defiance, and the humanity they have inculcated, Barnum has offered the slave-drivers the incense of an expurgated form of Uncle Tom. He has been playing a version of that great story at the Museum, which omits all that strikes at the slave system, and has so shaped his drama as to make it quite an agreeable thing to be a slave. 'Verily, he will have his reward.'—Ashtabula Sentinel.
