What reading level is Africa And the American Flag book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The writer, however, bj no means concurs in opinion with the zealous friends of colonization, that the slave- trade can be suppressed on the entire coast of Africa by Liberia alone. Yet it is an established fact that within her jurisdiction of six hundred miles of sea-coast and thirty miles inland, it has been effectually extir- pated.
At this period many piratical vessels, well armed, were hovering about the coast. A brig from Portland, and a schooner from Baltimore, were robbed of a large amo...unt of specie, by a vessel mounting twelve guns, manned ^principally by Spaniards. Scarcely an Ameri- can merchant vessel had, for a year or more, been on the coast as low down as 6° North, without suffering either insult or plunder from these vessels. Mr. Ash- mun then erected a battery for the protection of vessels at anchor, while he represented to the Secretary of the Navy the necessity of the constant presence of a man-of- war on the African coast for the protection of legal commerce.
Five of the most important stations from Cape Mount to Tradetown, one hundred and fifty miles, now be- longed to the colony by purchase or perpetual lease, INCIDENTS IN THE COLONIAL HISTORY.
