What reading level is Sermon On Slave Holding Preached By Appointment Before the Synod of Cincinnati book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For no man can be poorer than he who does not own himself. Intelligence, talents, refinement, all that constitutes the glory of a civilized man, are but so many curses to one doomed to slavery for life. Everything that quickens his sensi- bilities, only makes him the more alive to the misery and degra- dation of his condition ; for it is only while he forgets that he is a man, that he can be contented as a slave.
Those considerations which hold back others in the hour of temptation, viz : the f...ear of reproach and loss of character, have no influence over him. The slave for life knows that he shall never be a man. He has not therefore a mans character to lose. Yet he is subject to the same inordinate passions and ^appetites which draw others into sin ; while he lies all defenceless and exposed to the most violent and vile passions of other men. Thus while slavery strips the slave of every safe-guard of his virtue, it lets loose upon him all the temptations which destroy it.
Who then can reduce man to this terrible state, or retain him in it, and not justly dread the denunciations of God against oppression 1 While he strips his slave of the safe-guards of vir- tue and the attributes of humanit}^, he usurps for himself the prerogatives of God !
