The Mississippi River symbolized freedom for Huck as he could free himself from the clutches of his drunken father. He was no more answerable for his actions, and no more dominated by the abuse.  

Explanation:

Huck and Jim had various adventures on the raft over the Mississippi River, which helped Huck to grow. Unlike the society around, the river broke free beyond the clutches of norms and regulations. It symbolized the free flow of thoughts and freedom of emotions.  

Staying on the land taught Hugh not to set Jim free whereas staying on the river taught him the importance of freedom. Being on the river, Huck developed a bond with Jim, who was a slave. But, being on the land taught Huck about the oppression of the slaves, which was not civilized behavior.
