I need some English essay help.. Civil War satire in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?
I'm writing a satire essay for Huck Finn and I got assigned to write about the Civil War satires. I need three different examples from throughout the book and I only have two-- the slavery (Jim being a runaway n all) and the Grangerfords and Shephersons (how they are fighting a useless, bloody battle). But I can't think of/find a third example from the book. Anyone else have any ideas? Please help me! Thank you!

The characters are characterized with a lack of knowledge about the war, which IMO is satirical. (I've only read chapter 5 in the book, so take it with a grain of salt.)
