Set during the Civil War and Reconstruction, it portrays the rise of the Ku Klux Klan from a pro-Confederate perspective. The story follows Northern and Southern families whose lives intertwine amid political upheaval, as the novel depicts Reconstruction as oppressive and presents the Klan as defenders of white Southerners.
