What reading level is Slavery in Maryland Briefly Considered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Of course they would not work when compulsion ceased ; their highest ideas of freedom included nothing more precious than the privilege of being idle. And it is very well for the existing generation of whites in those islands, that the emancipated mass preferred torpid repose to ac- tivity. At present the planters of Jamaica are obtaining labor- ers from Africa, under the name of emigrants, who, by a pleasant fiction, are entered as volunteers in the fields. The British cruisers, when they capt...ure a slaver at sea, send the cargo to the West Indies, and thus benefit the plantations, at the expense of the slave captain and owners — the latter suffel-ing confiscation, and the former running the risk of being hanged. So, certain of the eagle tribe, disdaining to fish, sit on a high tree or rock and watch the fishing hawk ; and when the latter secures his prey in his talons and is rising with it, the eagle darts forth from his eminence and pounces upon the spoil, which he appropriates without further ceremony to the use of his own nest.
