The novel is a perfect depiction of the southern society and its racial stereotypes over slavery and racism, and how the latter was used as a tool used by white southerners to persecute black people. In other words, racism was an after effect of slavery. Slavery had a negative impact on the slaves in all aspects of life. However, even though slavery was abolished, racism came as a result of slavery. In his novel, Mark Twain wanted to portray racism as a consequence of slavery which white southerners used as a key role to discriminate, and deprive black slaves from their legal rights.Slavery, Racism, Racial Stereotypes, Discrimination
