It was written by African-American writer Charles Waddell Chesnutt.In this book, the writer narrates a fictional story of the white supremacist movement when a number of African Americans were killed and thousands of them more from their homes.The story revolves around two prominent families, the Carterets and the Millers. Major Philip Carteret, the editor of The Morning Chronicle newspaper, has emerged as the unblemished white supremacist who, along with General Belmont and Captain George McBain, seeks to overthrow Negro supremacy, triggering the events that culminate in a deadly revolution. Dr. William Miller, after his medical education in North, has returned home to his people, founding a local Black hospital in Wellington. Dr. Miller's wife, Janet, is Major Carteret's wife, Olivia's racially mixed half-sister. Not surprisingly, Olivia Merkel Carteret struggles to suppress the truth of her father's scandalous second marriage to her black servant and Janet Miller's mother, Julia Brown.
