Book Synopsis Compendium of the Impending Crisis of the South by : Hinton Rowan Helper
Book excerpt: This book condemns slavery, by appealed to whites' rational self-interest, rather than any altruism towards blacks. Helper claimed that slavery hurt the Southern economy by preventing economic development and industrialization, and that it was the main reason why the South had progressed so much less than the North since the late 18th century.
