ity can be found in a free capitalistic society; "every day brings new troubles of employment, starvation, and injustice, while the freeman only has a right to starve to death ... with slavery, both the master and the slave are always provided for; the slave always has a home and food, while the master always has his lands worked upon (1914)." Fitzhugh sees Europe as an example of an empire fallen due to capitalism, where the capitalist experiment has left Europe in anarchy to prove his theory that a capitalist society will fail. Only with slavery can the proper balance of power be established and only with slavery can society provide for itself are Fitzhugh's underlining beliefs.
             A key to Fitzhugh political theory can be found in his critique of abolitionism as he attacks abolitionism by agreeing with its own critique of northern institutions: by pointing to the abolitionist's condemnation in the North of intemperance and capitalism. He ridiculed northern society as "undemocratic and inegalitarian (1911)" as it affected women, children, and workers exposing to Fitzhugh the failure of freedom. &q
