Actually he did leave the province once. He "escaped" and went to college. Please note that he did come back.

Leaving a location is like leaving your struggle. Even through Grant wants to leave, he is "trapped" within the province of Louisiana because what is going on. He can't face what is put up before him (which is to prove Jefferson a man), but he feels "obligated" in some inner way to help him. Second, even through he is now educated, white men still consider him inferior since he is black. Things have also not changed except time, "They have chopped wood here too; then they were gone," (Gaines 62). Also, thinking deeper, the school he is working at has not changed since the Matthew Antoine (Gaines 62), was teaching there, "'When you see that those five and half months ...are just a waste of your time, you will,'"(Gaines 64).
