How Twain satirizes slavery

•Twain is targeting the belief that owning a slave is okay, because the book was written after the civil war he is mocking the past of America
•Twains point of view is that it is wrong to own people. you can tell because of the diction he uses and the exaggeration
•he is effective, an outright delivery of "the message" would have only offended people and no changes in belief would have come to the treatment of African Americans
