The Ebony Idol
''The Ebony Idol'' is a plantation literature novel by G. M. Flanders, first published in 1860. It is one of several pro-slavery novels written in the Southern United States in response to the 1852 abolitionist novel ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'' by Harriet Beecher Stowe. The majority of these works, such as ''Aunt Phillis's Cabin'' (1852) and ''The Planter's Northern Bride'' (1854) attacked Stowe for her allegedly inaccurate depiction of slavery, and criticized other abolitionists.
