This book uses the life of one man--Walter Lenoir of North Carolina--to explore the origins of southern white identity and the ambiguities and complexities embedded in that history with devotion to the Confederate cause. Lenoirs intention to divest himself of his inherited slaves changed with the war's outbreak and he joined the Confederate army.
