| Summary | "The Color Line: A Brief in Behalf of the Unborn" by William Benjamin Smith is a controversial treatise written in the early 20th century. The work presents a scientific and ethnological argument centered around the supposed racial superiority of Caucasians and the alleged inferiority of the Negro race. Smith’s writing engages with race relations, specifically within the context of American society, while asserting the necessity of maintaining racial boundaries to preserve the integrity of the Caucasian bloodline. The opening of the work introduces the author’s thesis that the issue of race will be one of immense significance for the future of American society. He articulates the South's position, arguing for an unyielding social divide between white and black populations based on purported biological and evolutionary grounds. The author sets the stage for a series of debates around the nature of racial differences, invoking both historical and scientific perspectives to defend the idea that intermingling races would result in degeneration of the superior race, ultimately leading to societal decline. The tone reflects a deep-seated conviction about the importance of blood purity, framing the discussion in a contentious light that seeks to influence both contemporary and future views on race.
