The Impending Crisis of the South by Hinton R. Helper
Hinton Helper's "The Impending Crisis of the South" heightened sectionalism by criticizing slavery and arguing that it hindered economic progress in the South. Helper, a Southern white man, presented data suggesting that non-slaveholding whites were economically disadvantaged by the institution of slavery, which alienated many Southern supporters of the system. His arguments fueled Northern abolitionist sentiments and deepened the divide, as they perceived the South's reliance on slavery as a moral and economic failing. Consequently, Helper's work contributed to the growing tensions that ultimately led to the Civil War.
