In many parts of the South today, there exists an endless dispute between
the rich land-owners, known as planters and the poor cotton pickers, known
as tenants or 'peckerwoods'. The planters supply the tennants with the
simple requirements of every day life and in return the tennants work the
land year in and year out. A hundred volumes could be written on the rights
and wrongs of both parties, but it is not the object of the producers of
'The Cabin in the Cotton' to take sides. We are only concerned with an
effort to picturize these conditions. See more »
