Imprint, “The Poor Whites of the South,” by George Weston, Published by the Republican Association of Washington, 1860, 8pp., never trimmed, a few spots. Clearly an anti-slavery piece with some fascinating facts. In very small part, “The number of slaveholders in the Slave States of the Union ... three hundred and forty-seven thousand, five hundred and twenty five. ... “ It then continues measuring the negative effects of slavery on the white people of the South, such as average earnings at 50c/day in Tennessee and 80c/day in Massachusetts. Interesting.
