The South's Burden: The Curse of Sectionalism in the United States

This book is a comparison of the intellectual, moral, and sentimental forces, which dominated in the two sections of the country when first settled, and follows these forces as they co-operated or opposed each other all along down the generations. The thesis of the author is that The South and indeed the North became subjugated as a consequence of the actions of the 16th President and those New England bankers and industrialists who financed him. As a people, North and South, we have witnessed over the decades, the cumulative effect of money upon demagogues in the political arena and it has produced a bitter fruit indeed.
