Pendant la guerre de Sécession aux États-Unis, deux familles sont mises à l'épreuve : les Stoneman, favorables au Nord, et les Cameron, des sudistes. Le retour de la paix ne calme pas les esprits. Lincoln est assassiné. Les troubles naissent des politiciens véreux et des Noirs livrés à eux-mêmes. Par réaction se crée le Ku Klux Klan justicier et vengeur.
