Answer 1

The perspective of Hinton Helper over slavery is quite different than George Fitzhugh´s one. According to H. Helper, slavery was a setback which prevented the development and economical growth of the slave-holder regions, in this case, the South.

The ideas of Hinton Helper on the South were developed in the book The Impending Crisis of the South.
