Helper, a North Carolinian, wrote, in 1857, " The Im- pending Crisis of the South : How to Meet It, " a book intended to show that slavery was inimical to the interests of the nonslavehold- ing Southern whites. Of this work, J. F. Rhodes says, in his " History of the United States from 1S50 " : " Although the writer's manner was highly emotional, sincerity flowed from his unpracticed pen. The facts were in the main correct ; the arguments based on them, in spite of being disfigured by abuse of ...the slaveholders, and weakened by threats, of violent action in a certain contingency, were unanswerable. . . . The burden of Helper's argu- ment was that the abolition of slavery would improve the material in- terests of the South by fostering manufactures and commerce, thus greatly increasing the value of land, the only property of the poor whites, and giving them a larger market for their products. The country and the cities would grow ; there would be schools, as at the North, for the education of their children, and their rise in the social scale would be marked.
