Abstract:
An examination of the career of transplanted northerner Clinton A. Cilley whose life ran counter to the generally accepted view of the carpetbaggers as the disliked settlers who were unlikely to succeed in Southern agriculture and who were disliked and held separate by true southerners. Cilley, despite being an unlikely candidate for success or acceptance in the postwar south, demonstrated a willingness to get along with the white majority, an ability to find common ground, and a compatibility in social values that lead him to become a successful and prominent lawyer in western North Carolina.
