Fitzhugh was a Southern iconoclast whose view of Northern labor was much like that of Karl Marx but who was an enthusiastic supporter of slavery. Fitzhugh was of the opinion that slavery would be reinstated in the North and his treatise agues for that.

Although Northerners and Southerners had come to agree on this point, they disagreed about which alternative would and should prevail.
This line was quoted by President William Clinton in his Beijing University Speech in June 1998
