Powell addresses the role that the Northern Planters had on the post-Reconstruction system. He deals with a variety of issues, including race relations, the planters' motivations, work habits, capital investment patterns and their gradual disillusionment as problems mounted and profits declined.

Trade Review
"His sensitive narrative nicely balances general discussions with telling anecdotes, and his interpretations are uniformly intelligent and generally convincing." -New York Times Book Review "Not only an important addition to Reconstruction literature but also a demonstration as to how American history should ideally be written... Anyone interested in Southern history, whether professional historian or casual reader, will find Powell's book difficult to lay aside until it has been read from start to finish." -American Historical Review
