American Negro Slavery by Ulrich Phillips
This Halcyon Classics ebook is Ulrich Bonnell Phillips' AMERICAN NEGRO SLAVERY. Phillips (1877-1934) was an influential Southern historian who used economic forces to examine slavery. He concluded that plantation slavery produced great wealth, but was a dead end, economically, that left the South bypassed by the industrial revolution underway in the North.
Phillips concluded that plantation slavery was not very profitable and would probably have faded away without the American Civil War, a conclusion called into question by later scholars. He praised the entrepreneurship of plantation owners and denied they were brutal. Phillips argued that they provided adequate food, clothing, housing, medical care and training in modern technology—that they formed a "school" which helped "civilize" the slaves.
