About the author

Hinton Rowan Helper

1829–1909

Best known for a fiercely controversial 1857 book, this North Carolina writer attacked slavery as a system that hurt the South’s economy and limited opportunities for non-slaveholding whites. His work became influential in the years before the Civil War, even as his own racial views were deeply troubling.
