Ante Bellum

Ante Bellum: Writings Of George Fitzhugh And Hinton Rowan Helper On Slavery is a book that compiles the writings of two prominent figures in the debate on slavery in America before the Civil War. George Fitzhugh was a pro-slavery advocate who argued that slavery was a positive institution that benefited both slaves and slave owners. Hinton Rowan Helper, on the other hand, was an abolitionist who believed that slavery was a morally reprehensible system that needed to be abolished. The book includes a selection of Fitzhugh's and Helper's most influential writings on slavery, providing readers with a comprehensive overview of the arguments for and against slavery in the pre-Civil War era. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the debates that surrounded it in the United States.Three Classic Works On Slavery In The Old South.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
