Compendium Of The Impending Crisis Of The South is a book written by Hinton Rowan Helper, published in 1857. The book is a detailed analysis of the economic and social conditions of the Southern United States in the years leading up to the Civil War. Helper argues that the South's reliance on slavery and agriculture was holding it back from progress and development, while the North's industrialization and free labor system were driving it forward. The book is a scathing critique of the Southern way of life and argues that slavery was not only morally wrong but also economically detrimental. Helper's ideas were controversial and sparked a heated debate in the South, where his book was banned and burned in some places. The book is considered a significant piece of abolitionist literature and a precursor to the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
