"Querkopf Wilson" by Mark Twain is set in the sleepy town of Dawson's Landing, a slaveholding community. Roxy, a confident slave, fears for her son Chambers' future amidst threats of sale. To protect him, she switches him with the white son of her master, leading to a tale of identity and societal critique. Twain's work addresses everyday racism and societal hypocrisy.
