What reading level is A Letter to the Right Rev L Silliman Ives Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Is there a minister of Christ, except among the slaveholders, who would so far expose his sacred character to public abhor- rence, as to betray a fugitive slave to the kidnappers ? Who thinks it a sin at the North or in Europe to harbor a runaway ? Who, at the North, except here and there a needy attorney, policeman, or a merchant ready to barter his character for Southern custom, is vile enough to carry into practice the doc- trine of Mr. Jones : s negro catechism, and bewray him that wan- der...eth, or refuse to hide the outcasts, or to be a covert to them from the face of the spoiler ?
Not only is Christianity presented to the slaves by its minis- ters in an odious and disgusting form, but these very ministers are perceived by the slaves to be the agents of the masters, and to preach to " please them" and are themselves almost univer- sally owners of human beings, buying and selling men, women, and children. Is it possible that such men can be honored, and trusted, and beloved, by the slaves, as their spiritual teachers, friends, and guides ?
