This article examines the influence of British writer Thomas Carlyle on George Fitzhugh, a pro-slavery writer in the Antebellum South. Fitzhugh drew inspiration from Carlyle's ideas on hierarchy, labor, and paternalism, using them to support his beliefs about Southern society and the institution of slavery. He criticized liberal democracy and advocated for a stronger government that could protect the lower classes and regulate private property. The article also discusses the broader impact of Carlyle's writings on illiberal ideologies. [Extracted from the article] |
