What is the setting of Amos Fortune: Free Man by Elizabeth Yates?

The biography begins in a small village in Africa in the middle of a springtime ceremony. The book then moves to Africa's coast and then to Boston. However, the physical location of the book does not impact the story, until the end when Amos takes a huge risk and moves his family, taking a huge risk, to a small community nestled beside Monadnock Mountain. Here, Amos and his family bought property of their own, property that no could take from them. It is at this point that setting becomes important to the story.
