This work scrutinizes the socio-political landscape of the Southern United States post-Civil War, particularly focusing on the plight of African Americans in the labor market and political sphere. Fortune aims to expose the systemic injustices stemming from land monopolies and the continued oppression of black citizens, arguing that their struggles mirror broader economic disparities faced by the laboring classes across the nation.  At the start of the text, Fortune establishes the historical context surrounding the 'Negro question,' highlighting its persistent nature in American sociopolitical discourse. He reflects on the irony and hypocrisy of early American settlers who fought for their own freedom while simultaneously enforcing slavery. The narrative then introduces his view that the future conflict within society lies not along racial lines but between capital and labor, emphasizing the exploitation of black laborers. Through a vivid recounting of injustices faced by African Americans, including disenfranchisement and economic oppression, Fortune sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of racial and class struggles that resonate in the early 20th century and beyond.
