Noonday Exigencies In America (1871)

Noonday Exigencies in America is a book written by Hinton Rowan Helper and published in 1871. The book provides a critical analysis of the economic, social, and political conditions in America during the post-Civil War era. Helper argues that the country is facing a crisis due to the failure of the government and the ruling class to address the needs of the working class and the poor.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the crisis. In the first part, Helper discusses the economic conditions in America, including the rise of monopolies and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few individuals. He argues that this has resulted in the exploitation of the working class and the erosion of democracy.In the second part, Helper examines the social conditions in America, including the treatment of minorities and the poor. He argues that the government has failed to provide adequate support and resources to these groups, leading to widespread poverty and inequality.In the third part, Helper discusses the political conditions in America, including the corruption of the political system and the failure of the government to represent the interests of the people. He argues that this has led to a loss of faith in democracy and a rise in authoritarianism.Overall, Noonday Exigencies in America is a powerful critique of the American system and a call to action for reform. Helper's analysis remains relevant today, and his insights into the problems facing American society are still widely discussed and debated.With An Appendix To Be Read In Advance Of The Text, In The Perusal Of These Pages, By All Such Inattentive Persons As May Have Been, Some Years Ago In The Habit Of Reading With Eyes Askant.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
