True
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, was indeed influenced by the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. The law enforced the return of escaped slaves to their owners, which heightened public awareness and debate about the moral and ethical issues surrounding slavery. Stowe's novel was published in 1852 as a response to the Fugitive Slave Act and aimed to illustrate the realities and inhumanities of slavery, ultimately contributing to the abolitionist movement.
