Abstract
The paper focuses on 19th century racial issues and their portrayal in Mark Twain’s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It sheds light on the most important aspects of lives of slaves and on the way Twain represented them in one of his most famous works. The paper deals with types of slavery and lives of slaves from which it moves on to the way slavery was legally regulated. Legal regulation of slavery greatly impacted the way both slaves and free blacks were treated by the dominant white society. Slaveholders used various methods of controlling their slaves, religion being one of those methods. This paper points out that slave owners used religion to justify slavery and that religion influenced identities of slaves. Finally, the paper examines the peculiar relationship between Huck and Jim and how this relationship affected Huck’s view of Jim and blacks in general.
