These characters were never actually real, but they represent parts and themes of the real story. Moses shows that a relationship between Knight and African-American people existed and was prevalent. His nephew’s death shows a boiling over of the things in the war that Newt did not agree with, which pushed him to desert the army. The Free State of Jones created many fictional things, but should be seen as historically accurate due to its portrayal of guerilla warfare, the motivations for the soldiers leaving the confederacy, and the depiction of life for blacks during reconstruction after the war.

Through these connections in the novel, Craig Silvey challenges the modern Australians to consider their idea of prejudice and what it means to be an Australian. Craig Silvey uses similar characterisation for each characters, matching them with the personas in Harper Lee’s novel to explore the similarities between the 1960’s Australians and the 1950’s Americans. Jasper Jones, who the town portraits as “…a Thief, a Liar, a Thug, a Truant” (pg 6) whereas he’s actually “…never stole a thing [he] dint need” (pg 44).
