A MIGRATION IS BEGINNING

At one time Rhodes stood as a true small town jewel in the south. Tobacco and cotton production boomed - bringing an era of hope and prosperity that lasted even after the war. However many worry that prosperity is now on the decline. Production of crop's is down, and the last two surviving big plantation families, the Gray's and the Braithwaites, while always bitter rivals, have increased hostilities as this economic downturn worsens.

With the emancipation of slaves and acrimonious attitudes persisting after the Civil War, some worry a massive northern migration of Negro workers and farm hands could spell troble for the region as a whole and especially town's like Rhodes.
