　　Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodox

Christians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of the

people who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slaves

enjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class in

the world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of all

races across the world would be immeasurably improved by their

enslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society a

doctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, and

intellectuals - 'Slavery in the Abstract', which declared

enslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless of

race. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believing

that the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, was

collapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of the

several social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine?

That question lies at the heart of this book.

1. The impending collapse of capitalism

2. Hewers of wood, drawers of water

3. Travelers to the south, southerners abroad

4. The squaring of circles

5. The appeal to social theory

6. Perceptions and realities.

书籍介绍

Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodox Christians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of the people who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slaves enjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class in the world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of all races across the world would be immeasurably improved by their enslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society a doctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, and intellectuals-- "Slavery in the Abstract," which declared enslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless of race. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believing that the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, was collapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of the several social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine? That question lies at the heart of this book.
