Baylee- How Did Elijah Become A Man?

I think Elijah became a man when he stood up for what he believed in, and he believed that his family should get to keep their farm. To keep their farm, they needed money, and Elijah stood up for his family and he to get a full thirty-five dollars so his family could pay their taxes. "We aint going unless we get thirty-five dollars" Elijah said. "Cash Money" (pg.101) Everyone was very surprised he'd talked back to a white man, but I think that was the moment he became a man.
