- Synopsis
- Historically, Book 8 of The Bregdan Chronicles, Shifted by the Winds, begins immediately after the Civil War ends. Though the Union victory is solid, and the slaves are freed, the turbulence continues. After President Lincoln's assassination, Vice President Johnson becomes President. His black-racist sympathies with the South allow plantation owners to force black slavery to continue under a flurry of convoluted laws. Moreover, deadly riots in southern cities sent a message: kill a black person and you will not be punished. Also, the threat of violence or death falls on any white person who helps blacks in any way. Because of this intense racism, the fictional characters have a difficult time. Everyone on Cromwell plantation is susceptible to this hatred. Thomas and Abbey are threatened for paying all factory workers the same despite their race or gender. Despite this racism, Rose and Marietta continue to educate former slaves. Carrie and Janie are finally in medical school in Pennsylvania, but things are rough in the North as well as in the South. Can the characters shift with the winds and fight for the desperately needed changes?
