What reading level is Massachusetts in the American Revolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is very noticeable, that during the ten years ensuing, while the public mind of the American colonies was slowly ripening toward independence, all classes of opinion still rested firm in the conviction that they were British subjects. As British sub- jects, the Tories declared their obligation to submit to King and Parliament; and, as British subjects, the patriots protested their rights to all the liberties of Englishmen.
None were as yet found who held to a separation from the mother count...ry, even in idea. Still, the persistent injustice of England awakened more and keener resent- ment as time rolled on. The repeal of the Stamp Act soon gave place to new imposi- tions. Heavy duties were laid upon glass, paints, and paper, and a tax of three pence a pound on all tea imported into the colo- nies. Massachusetts soon met the crisis by resolving to use none of the articles tainted by an unconstitutional tax. '*We will form one universal combination," said the men of Boston, *'to eat nothing, drink nothing, and wear nothing imported from Great Britain." 20 MASSACHUSETTS IN THE To those who marvel at the excited re- sistance made by these colonists to a trifling tea tax of six cents a pound (a rate of duty on that article often exceeded in both countries since), it must be suggested that the recusant people were not protesting against the tax, but against the manner of its imposition.
