Part Three of the Dogwood Plantation four-part series confronts the issues that have been mentioned in Parts One and Two.

Meggie McLachlan, representing the third generation of her family at Dogwood, is grown and has agreed to live in town with her father’s other family for six months. It is 1850, the year of Henry Clay’s Great Compromise. The Congress of the young republic is in an uproar over the question of slavery in the new territories, with congressmen and senators fearful of a potential split in the nation.

Meggie finds herself in the middle of this disagreement in her own family and community, where most folks frown upon a woman who expresses political opinions, particularly on the issue of slavery. Having been raised without much regulation, she struggles with this societal control. Her anger begins to rise as she discovers more facts about slavery. Furthermore, will she have the strength to abide by the strong promises she made upon leaving the Dogwood Plantation?

The McLachlan family’s story continues to emphasize the differences between African culture and European, the two histories depicted in eastern North Carolina during this time period. The European heritage is in power and control while the other, the African, is often suffering in cruel treatment and neglect. Meggie has much to reflect upon during this period of her life. Robert and John, too, continue to talk and worry about the future of justice in this experiment in republican/democratic government.
