What kind of place is the Grangerfords house? Why is the Grangerford home different from homes to which Huck is accustomed?

THe Grangerford home is much more affluent than Huck had ever seen. It is large and beautiful. The family owns a considerable amount of land and over one hundred slaves, including a slave for each member of the household. Huck's past with Pap was poverty stricken and even with Aunt Polly was humble.
