Race Decadence
“William S. Sadler in his 1922 book Race Decadence: An Examination of the Causes of Racial Degeneracy in the United States, argued that alcoholism and “feeblemindedness, insanity, and delinquency” were hereditary traits and that those who possessed them were breeding at a much faster rate than “superior human beings,” He feared that this issue could threaten the “civilization we bequeath our descendants.” He also believed that the majority of criminals were mentally ill.” – Excerpt from Profitable Intelligence
