What reading level is Expostulatory Letter to George Washington book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I fear both you and your country- men would rather imitate the cold blooded British Cabinet, and to gratify your own sordid views, would scatter among an unof- fending people, terror, desolation, and death. Harsh as this conclusion may appear, it is warranted by your present prac- tice ; for the man who can beast of his own rights, yet hold two or three hundred of his fellow beings in slavery, would not hesitate, in case of a revolt, to employ the most sanguinary means in his power, rather than... forego that which the truly re- publican laws of his country are pleased to call his property.
Shame ! Shame ! That man should be deemed the property of man, or that the name of AVashington should be found among the list of such proprietors. Should these strictures be deemed severe or unmerited on your part, how comes it, that while in the northern and middle states, the exertions of the virtuous Quakers, and other philanthropists, have produced such regula- tions as must speedily eradicate every trace of slavery in that quarter ; how comes it, that from you these humane efiorts have never received the least countenance ?
