Roark examines the Southern planter class's response to the Civil War and Reconstruction. The book analyzes how these former slave owners, who had lost their enslaved labor force, struggled to adapt to a new economic and social reality. Roark explores their continued attachment to slavery, their passive resistance, their attempts to regain control over Black labor, and the devastation they experienced, which for some included having to perform physical labor for the first time.
