Huckleberry was trying to find a way out of the cabin. He found a saw and started to saw his way out. Later, his dad came and started to talk about how they live in a bad government. Just because he saw an African with fancy clothes and with money. The dad was very mad that the African had a better life than he did.
People back then were so racist about Africans. That was wrong people should be treated equal no matter what race, color, or gender they are.
