<span>Having nearly a year before issued the carefully worded Emancipation Proclamation, which relied on the wartime powers of the executive to liberate slaves in the Confederacy, Lincoln now painted in bolder strokes. Referring to the notion of equality in the midst of a wartime social revolution, as African Americans walked off southern plantations and into the northern army, Lincoln seemed to be pushing the country forward. The president called on Americans to dedicate themselves to “the unfinished work” of those who had fought at Gettysburg, thus joining America’s founding ideal of equality with African Americans’ aspirations for liberty.

I think one of the main reasons Mark Twain used a young boy as the main character and narrator of such a controversial novel filled with adult themes to convey the innocent side of these adult themes. Telling this story in the eyes of a teenage boy, the morality of these situations appears more obvious. Another reason why Mark Twain used a teenage boy as the main character and narrator in the novel is because it allows Twain to imply a comparison between the powerlessness and the vulnerability of a child and the powerlessness and vulnerability of a black man in the pre-Civil War era. He also may be using a child protagonist to dramatize the conflicts between societal and received morality on one hand and a different kind of morality based on experience and intuition.
