Most of the novel concerns the mistreatment of African-Americans in the South, but the protagonists, particularly a feisty woman, outwit their main opponents. The ending of the book describes the beginnings of the development of project that will include a school, a home for orphan girls, and an entire community providing a better life for its inhabitants. Silver fleece refers a patch of outstanding cotton; see the chapter “Of the Quest of the Golden Fleece” in his The Souls of Black Folks. .
