George Fitzhugh (1806–1881) was an American social theorist who published racial and slavery-based sociological theories in the antebellum era. He is most well-known for his staunch defense of slavery as a positive good rather than a necessary evil. Fitzhugh argued that slavery was beneficial for both slaves and society as a whole, a view that was in direct opposition to the growing abolitionist movement in the Northern United States.
Fitzhugh's most famous works are "Sociology for the South, or the Failure of Free Society" (1854) and "Cannibals All! or, Slaves Without Masters" (1857), in which he contended that the capitalist wage system of the North was actually a worse form of bondage than the slavery practiced in the South. He believed that the Southern slavery system provided slaves with consistent care and protection, which he compared favorably to the exploitation of workers in the North, who could be dismissed and left to fend for themselves in times of sickness or economic downturn.
Fitzhugh's views were based on a paternalistic ideology that saw white slaveholders as the benevolent guardians of an African American population that, according to his beliefs, was not capable of self-care or participation in a democratic society. His arguments were part of a broader intellectual movement that sought to justify the continuation of slavery at a time when the institution was increasingly under attack.
Fitzhugh's ideas were influential in the South during the years leading up to the American Civil War, but they were also met with significant criticism and opposition. After the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, his social theories fell out of favor and are now considered emblematic of the pro-slavery apologist rhetoric of the period. Fitzhugh's work is studied today as a historical artifact that provides insight into the ideologies used to defend slavery in the antebellum United States.
