In "The Root of All Evil" Kenneth Moore Startup looks to the
sermons and writings of Protestant clergy to better understand the
driving forces behind the antebellum southern economy. During this
period of unprecedented American expansion, he finds, clerics of
all denominations on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line displayed a
remarkable unanimity in their condemnation of mammonism--the open
pursuit of wealth, conspicuous consumption, lack of charity, and
contempt of honest labor. This trend, the clergy argued, was
diverting both North and South from their best interests and would
ultimately destroy the nation. "The Root of All Evil" represents a
challenge to any notion of an economically disinterested southern
mind and culture by revealing an Old South in line ideologically
with the mainstream of nineteenth-century capitalism, and also
provides useful insights into southern religious life.
