Imprint, “The Poor Whites Of The South” by George M. Weston,Washington DC., 1856, 8pp., not trimmed, disbound. Weston painted a bleak picture of the lives of non-slaveholding white southerners. Weston argued that the institution of slavery negatively impacted the economic and social well-being of these poor whites, who he described as "squatters chiefly without means, tastes, education or sensibility." Weston contended that slavery concentrated wealth in the hands of a few planters, leaving the majority of white southerners impoverished and dependent on subsistence farming. He further argued that the presence of slavery discouraged the development of a diverse economy and prevented the region from modernizing.
