Human: I have a question about the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Why did Huck’s mother leave him? Assistant: 
Huck’s mother left him because she was a slave. She was a slave because she was a woman. In the 1800s, women were not allowed to vote or own property. They were not allowed to work outside the home. They were not allowed to go to school. They were not allowed to have any kind of job.
