By George Fitzhugh

Book Overview

Sociology For The South: Or The Failure Of Free Society is a book written by George Fitzhugh in 1854. The book is a critique of free society and capitalism, and argues that slavery is a more just and efficient system. Fitzhugh uses a sociological and historical analysis to argue that the South's system of slavery is superior to the North's system of free labor. He argues that slavery provides a more stable and harmonious society, and that slaves are better off under the care of their masters than they would be in a free society. Fitzhugh also critiques the idea of individualism and argues that it leads to selfishness and social disintegration. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and remains a controversial work today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
