The Impending Crisis of the South "Annotated"

The information in this book could have averted America's civil war and could prevent America's next civil war. Hinton Rowan Helper was a White former slave-owning Southerner and critic of slavery during the 1850s. He dedicated this book to the "non-slaveholding whites" of the South. Instead of relying on altruistic feelings for the enslaved to make his case, Helper crafted an analysis that focused on the economic hardships slavery was causing non-slave-holders. More importantly and relevant to the modern day, he points out the press's manipulative narratives on race relations at the behest of the politicians and slave oligarchy. You will see the similarities between the modern-day media and politicians.The information in this book didn't prevent America's civil war because possession of a copy of this work was treated as a criminal offense in most of the South. Furthermore, distributors of this book were arrested, and three men in Arkansas were hanged for possessing it. Fortunately, possession of this book is no longer a criminal offense, and the information within these pages can help prevent another Civil war.Buy a copy today. Read more
