Set against a backdrop of post-Civil War Southern society, it delves into themes of racial division, societal upheaval, and the struggle for power in a tumultuous political landscape. The story primarily follows Major Daniel Norton, a young newspaper editor navigating the complex conflicts arising from the Reconstruction era and the emergence of the Ku Klux Klan. The opening of the novel introduces Major Norton as he grapples with the harsh realities of a society in chaos following the war. As he writes editorials for his paper, he witnesses the subjugation of his fellow white citizens, who are being auctioned and humiliated. The tension escalates when he contemplates the implications of the black government in power and its impact on his community. He encounters the complexities of love and desire through his interactions with Cleo, a young and beautiful mixed-race woman, juxtaposing personal dilemmas against the backdrop of a society rife with hatred and rivalry. This initial portion sets the stage for Norton's eventual confrontations with political corruption and the moral quandaries of leadership during a deeply divided era.
