The White Man's Library: White America

Paul Kersey and Sam Dickson examine Earnest Cox's 1923 classic "White America." A contemporary of Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard, Cox's work has aged remarkably well after a century. He makes the case for total repatriation of blacks as the only realistic solution to America's racial problem. He explores the racial views of the nation's greatest statesmen — Webster, Clay, Douglas, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Ulysses S. Grant — all of whom believed that removing blacks from the United States was one of the federal government's most important responsibilities.
