Synopsis

Statistical fanatic, abolitionist, militant racist

Hinton Rowan Helper--a statistical fanatic, abolitionist, militant racist, Republican propagandist, ardent patriot, international railway projector, and promoter of inter-American co-operation ­was a man of great paradox and tragedy. Born and reared a Southerner, he became a caustic and potent critic of slavery, who sought to "liberate" his people from its burdens. Unlike many of his Northern abolitionist friends, however, he loathed not only the Negro but most "non-Anglo-Saxon peoples." It is shocking to read Helper's violent pleas for abolition and to know of his contempt for the Negro.
