Summary:

This title uses the life of one man - Walter Lenoir of North Carolina - to explore the origins of southern white identity and the myriad ambiguities and complexities embedded in that history. Lenoir's case is particularly fascinating in the way it complicates notions about the sources of rabid devotion to the Confederate cause.
