A post-Civil War political journey where a former Union soldier and a sharecropper unite across racial lines to fight for Reconstruction rights and electoral victory.
Ex-slave and former Union soldier Gideon Jackson represents other ex-slaves at the constitutional convention, and is soon elected to the U.S. Senate despite opposition from white landowners, law enforcement and the KKK. He unites with sharecropper Abner Lait, who helps Jackson unite ex-slaves and white tenant farmers.
