America's most beguiling metropolis started out as a snake-infested, hurricane-battered swamp. Through intense imperial rivalries and ambitious settlers who risked their lives to succeed in colonial America, the site became a crossroads for the Atlantic world. Powell gives us the full sweep of the city's history from its founding through statehood.

Powell addresses the role that the Northern Planters had on the post-Reconstruction system. He deals with a variety of issues, including race relations, the planters' motivations, work habits, capital investment patterns and their gradual disillusionment as problems mounted and profits declined.
