"Argues that the South was a premodern, precapitalist society. The slave system had become "the basis of the Southern social order," not just one form of labor; it had created a planter aristocracy that had to protect slavery to protect its power. Because the South's economy was inefficient and exploitive, the only way to protect slavery was to expand. So the conflict with the capitalist North became irrepressible."
"I think "The Southern Tradition" is better, and therefore a real outlier in Genovese's late-life work, incidentally; but this book started it all for me, as far as my admiration for Genovese and his thought. It is this book that taught me to look deeper for meaning and to stop eating the intellectual paste being passed out by the John Hope Franklins and the Ira Berlins of the world, to say nothing of Herbert Gutman. PlaySkool paste-eaters, all."
