The Mind of the Master Class tells of America's greatest historical
tragedy. It presents the slaveholders as men and women, a great
many of whom were intelligent, honorable, and pious. It asks how
people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over
a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted
horrors on their slaves. The South had formidable proslavery
intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and
boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ('free-labor') society.
Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral
and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative
principles in history, political economy, social theory, and
theology, while translating them into political action. Even those
who judge their way of life most harshly have much to learn from
their probing moral and political reflections on their times - and
ours - beginning with the virtues and failings of their own society
and culture.
