In the book Elijah of Buxton, there are lots of conflict. One situation being that a black man, Mr. Leroy, is working for a woman who needs him to do a bunch of housework. He is trying to get alot of money to buy his family out of slavery. And he says that he would get more money if he worked as a farmers assistant but the only option was to work for a white farmer, and work with all white people. Mr. Leroy doesnt get paid as much as he would like to but apparently race is very important to him, so he stays working with Mrs. Holton. Also this book has alot about slavery and how people were treated during those hard times.
