America's latter-day secret societies are born in this sequel to The Foxes of Harrow: Defeated feudal lords of the South attempting to set back the clock of history. White Leaguers and Klansmen swoop down to terrorize recently liberated Blacks. Brawling, thieving northern carpetbaggers display no conscience other than the dollar sign. Mulatto half-breeds wander about with confused identities fall victim to there own confused behaviors. As creeping swamps and forests reclaim the once luxurious Southern mansions, scalawags, men of Southern birth and breeding, and carpetbaggers reach out and feed on the decay of a wounded, bitter South.
