What does Twain imply about freedom and the pursuit of happiness when Huck and Jim discard the materials and behaviors of polite society on the river?

He implies that these are constricting social conventions that suffocate the human thirst for adventure. The two boys feel free of the constraints society places on them. They enter into the natural world free of materialism, manners and ideology. Along with that Huck, in particular, leaves behind any racist ideas Southern culture had tried to ingrain in him.
