Helper, a slaveholders son, wrote a well-researched and persuasive indictment of slavery, which not only became widely known but also had a major impact on American politics. In fact, it was instrumental in helping Abraham Lincoln win the Presidential election of 1860. Ultimately, Helpers larger goal was to provoke a type of socialist revolution.
