Mark Twain exposed the South's racism and dehumanization of African slaves to the whole nation (and even world). Huck Finn contains criticism of society/racism, religion, and politics all in one extensive novel masked as an enjoyable children's novel (like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was). The true main character, Jim, is a slave who escapes with Huck. As Huck learns more and more about Jim by traveling together, he realizes that black slaves are human, and even makes the connection that they have the same feelings as white folk. This is just a small part of the novel's true meaning, and Twain beautifully crafts a masterpiece while tricking southerners into reading it, and making them laugh at themselves.
