Elijah was relieved when Mr. Leroy told him he must go along with him to Michigan in Elijah of Buxton because of the large sum of money he was transporting.
Elijah was relieved because going with Mr. Leroy to Michigan meant that he would have the chance to escape the threatening situation in Buxton and potentially find his family who had been taken away from the settlement. It also offered him the opportunity to see the world beyond Buxton and experience new adventures.
In the book "Elijah of Buxton," Mrs. Holton gives Mr. Leroy $20 to take care of Elijah on their journey to the United States.

Kenneth LeRoy was born on August 17, 1927, in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
In the book Elijah of Buxton, on page 96 it says "Then I said 'em, I said those words that made it so the lesson 'bout familiarity and contemp'll be fixed in my mind for's long as I live, even if that's to fifty. I said, 'And me and all 'em other little nigg-'" Then as you know, Mr.Leroy backhands Elijah. He blackouts for a moment too. I think we all know what word Eli was going to say after Mr.Leroy's lecture. I hope this answer helps! I'm in 6th grade and because I'm reading this for school I am going to draw a picture of this!
