Pro-Slavery Thought In The Old South

written by: William Sumner Jenkins

Pro-Slavery Thought In The Old South by William Sumner Jenkins is a historical account of the pro-slavery ideology and arguments that were prevalent in the southern United States prior to the Civil War. The book explores the various justifications and rationalizations used by pro-slavery advocates, including religious, economic, and racial arguments. Jenkins examines the writings and speeches of prominent pro-slavery figures such as John C. Calhoun and George Fitzhugh, as well as lesser-known defenders of the institution. He also considers the impact of pro-slavery thought on the broader culture of the Old South, including its influence on politics, education, and social norms. Through this analysis, Jenkins provides a nuanced understanding of the complex and deeply ingrained support for slavery that existed in the antebellum South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
