What reading level is Slavery in the Territories book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
aristocracy. It is so; and I give it as my mature I and deliberate judgment, that the slaveholders of I the South constitute one of the most formidable : and powerful aristocracies upon the face of the earth. An aristocracy is, where the power is in the hands of the few, to the exclusion of the many. It is not essential to an aristocracy, that its powers and prerogatives should rest upon law; they may rest upon a strong public opinion, that has the consistency and force of law. Thus it is in th...e, South. The public opinion of the South is entirely moulded and directed by the slaveholders. Their views, sentiments, and principles, make up south- ; ern public opinion. The strength of this public opinion is strikingly exemplified in its influence over the press, that great lever which moves the world. The press of the South is the mere organ and advocate of the interests and prerogatives of slavery. It no more dare assail tnat institution, or question its rightful supremacy in the State, than dare the press of any aristocratic government on earth assail the privileges and immunities of its aristocracy.
