What reading level is Miscellaneous Writings On Slavery volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A few years since, a girl of the name of Mary Gilmore was arrested in Philadelphia, as a fugitive slave from Maryland. Testimony was not wanting in support of the claim ; yet it was most conclusively proved that she was the daughter of poor Irish parents — having not a drop of negro blood in her veins ; that the father had absconded, and that the mother had died a drunkard in the Philadelphia hospital, and that the infant had been kindly received and hrougJit up in a colored family. Hence the a...ttempt to make a slave of her. In the spring of 1830, a colored man was arrested in Philadelphia, on a charge of having absconded from his owner twenty -three years before. This man had a wife and family depending upon him, and a home where he enjoyed their society ; and yet, unless he could find witnesses who could prove his freedom for more than this number of years, he was to be torn from his wife, his children, his home, and doomed for the remainder of his days to toil under the lash. Four witnesses for the claimant swore to his identity, although they had not seen him before for twenty-three years !
