McKitrick, this 1963 Prentice-Hall collection brings together original ante-bellum writings from leading Southern thinkers — including John C. Calhoun, George Fitzhugh and others — who articulated the intellectual justifications used in defense of slavery as a social and economic institution in the United States. Drawing on speeches, essays, reviews and treatises, the volume shows how pro-slavery advocates deployed appeals to religion, classical authority, economic theory and pseudo-science to counter abolitionist arguments and legitimize the “Old South” worldview that upheld slavery prior to the Civil War. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"1540\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"916\"\u003e2) \u003cem data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"914\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eSlavery Attacked: The Abolitionist Crusade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eEdited by John L.
