This review is from: The Slave Power Conspiracy and the Paranoid Style (Paperback)
These three essays are in fact lectures given in the late 1960s at Louisiana State University. Davis admits upfront that he used the term "paranoid" as a perjoritive in tracing the conspiratorial theories of both pro and anti-slavery individuals in the antebellum United States. There are good points to be made here and he does make some, but I wish he would have gotten to the sharp end of the argument more quickly instead of swirling around endless word circles. (I admit that reasonable people could mount an argument to the contrary.) These lectures are worth reading, and you can pull some ideas from them, but they are burdened by rhetorical overload.
