White supremacy shaped all aspects of post-Civil War southern life, yet its power was never complete or total. This book presents the southern men and women - some heroic and decent, others mean and sinister, most a mixture of both - who supported and challenged Jim Crow, showing that white supremacy always had to prove its power.
