The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It by Hinton Rowan Helper

"The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It" by Hinton Rowan Helper is a book published in 1857. This Southern abolitionist's economic attack on slavery became one of the most politically explosive works in American history. Helper argued that slavery impoverished the South and oppressed non-slaveholding whites, fueling sectional conflict that paralyzed Congress and hastened the path to Civil War. The book's fierce opposition to slavery coexisted uneasily with Helper's adamant white supremacist views. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
