A David L. Wolper Production, Warner Bros. Television, A Warner Communications CompanySynopsis
The Civil War is over, but freedom has a bitter side effect, as most people seem interested only in using and abusing the emancipated blacks in the same old way. Chicken George and his family are constantly harassed by hooded night riders and exploited by men such as Evan Brent and a carpetbagging Senator until finally, in a move that will truly affect generations to come, they move to start anew in the tiny town of Henning, Tennessee.
