What reading level is Stories of New Jersey book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
'E have so long looked upon New Jersey as prominent among what were called the "free States" of the Union, that it now seems strange when we consider, that among the first of the institutions established upon its soil by the early settlers, was the '^''^^:> system of slavery. This was the case not only in New Jersey, but in all the Amer- ican Colonies. The settlers of New England, as well as those of the Southern Colonies, used negro slaves as laborers on their farms; and the trade in native Af...ricans was a very important branch of in- dustry.
The Duke of York, to whom his brother, Charles II., 83 Digitized by Google 84 had made a grant of extensive American possessions, was at the head of the African Company, formed for the purpose of bringing slaves from Africa, and selling them. The Dutch were then the great rivals of the English in this trade; and the Duke of York was very glad to possess New Jersey and the rest of his grant, for then he could not only oust the Dutch from the territory, but could possess himself of this very desirable and profitable slave market.
