What reading level is Eight Years in Congress From 1857 1865 Memoir And Speeches book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Cox. The only authentic return, which research can discover, of negroes employed in the Revolution, is one made on the 24th of August, 1778, on the call of the Continental Congress, and the whole number of negroes present in the army then, of all conditions and grades of service, was seven hundred and fifty-five, of which five hundred and eighty-six were reported as present. I know not how they were used particularly ; but doubtless they were used as servants, or bootblacks, or teamsters, or pr...ivate soldiers. If the gentleman has any thing more authentic, I would like to see it. But, as I see my friend from Massachusetts [Mr. DAWES] listening with some interest, I will call attention to the revolutionary pol icy of Massachusetts. The Governor of that State has gone home with a carte blanche in his pocket to raise negro soldiers if I may use that white term with reference to this black business.
Mr. ALDRICH (in his seat). Carte black.
Mr. Cox. Yes, very black. I know it is the supposition among per sons who do not understand the meaning of this matter, that the object of Governor Andrew is to raise all the negroes he can, and ship them out of his State.
