Slavery is a big part of the novel as it takes place in the in the deeper south around the Mississippi river. The main symbol of slaver in this novel is Jim. Jim is a runaway slave who left his owner because of the fear that he would be sold down to New Orleans. Jim is also considered a fugitive because many believe that he was responsible for the death and disappearance of Huck. Jim travels along with Huck and both are forced to hide along the river because both know that if they are caught, Jim would return to slavery.

This way, if anyone questions them, Jim is a runaway slave that they are returning to captivity. This is a very harsh and rough view of how they would tie of a slave and drag him hundreds of miles up and down a river to return him or her to their owner. Even though slavery is a very evil concept
