When the United States Civil War was over, the government promised ex-slaves and poor white Southern families forty acres (and maybe a mule). Gideon is a black Union soldier who, along with his little brother and another ex-slave have one of these farms but lose it when others take revenge on them. Throughout this novel, Gideon never loses his dignity and freedom.
Describe what you think happens to Gideon and Pascal AFTER the story, as if you are outlining chapter 21.
