What reading level is Liberia the Land of Promise to Free Colored Men book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A steamer comes to Lagos or Cape Palmas, on her way to England; and out of twelve steamers, there are not three which do not carry hundreds of bales of cotton to England. What is true of Lagos is also true of Liberia. We are stimulating the cultivation of cotton; and the manufacturers of England, purchasing it from us, carry it to England, and manufacture it there.
But there are other articles which are raised in Liberia, and exported to foreign lands. In addition to sugar and cotton, there are... gold, ivory, palm-oil, c*mwood, &c. Palm oil is the chief article of trade on the western coast of Africa. Some years ago there were scarcely 100 tons of it exported all along the coast, but now there is a large exportation. We have not yet begun to develope all the resources of Africa in this particular article. How far they will be developed we don 't know ourselves; but there can be no doubt that there will be very large exports of it, ere many years elapse. When that is done, it will destroy the trade in tallow which exists between England and Russia; and it is so easy to manufacture palm-oil into candles, that manufacturers prefer it.
