Hinton Helper hated the South and was a traitor to it. He authored the book, "The Impending Crisis of the South," which advocated the violent overthrow of Southern society. Radical Republicans loved the book and made it part of their campaign platfoem in the elections of 1860. After Lincoln was sworn in as U.S. President, he rewarded Hinton Helper for his efforts by appointing him as consul to Buenos Aires. Helper was wholeheartedly a supporter of the Radical Republicans.

How did Hinton Helper's Impending Crisis increase the sectionalism between the North and South?

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.
