- Thomas Pearce Bailey (1867–1949) was an American educator and early-twentieth century race theorist. He was born August 18, 1867 in Georgetown, South Carolina. During his lifetime he was a professor of various subjects including education, psychology, and ethology. Bailey published a number of works on ethology and child development, but is best known for his writing on race and race relations in the south. He died in Winter Park, Florida on February 7, 1949. In the words of C. Vann Woodward, Bailey's essay "Race Orthodoxy in the South" (published 1913 in Neale's Monthly and reprinted as part of a collection in 1914) "set down this 'racial creed of the Southern people' with such candor and accuracy that it may serve as the best available summary". Writing in 1915, reviewer R. H. Dabney noted that Bailey was opposed to racial equality because it would result in "inter-marriage" and "endanger the peace of the community." Dabney also noted that Bailey was unable to reconcile his stated belief in the "immeasurable worth of each human soul" and his beliefs about race. Bailey was an avowed racist who believed in biological differences between races. He criticized Harriet Beecher Stowe for failing to recognize the importance of these alleged biological distinctions between races and treating them as mere differences of class. Bailey said, "No one has come within shouting distance of the real Negro problem who does not appreciate this distinction. Indeed, almost everything critical that can be alleged against Uncle Tom's Cabin springs from the failure of its humanitarian author to sympathize with race consciousness as such". (en)
