What reading level is The Death of John Brown a Discourse Preached On the Occasion of His Public Exec book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
John Brown has laid bare the weakest point of the system to the eyes of the world. It is as if God had let loose a great storm of wind upon the ocean, tearing and lifting the waters into yawning chasms, letting us look down to the bare and jag- ged rocks at the bottom. The slave sees it. He knows that his master fears him. Worst of all, the master knows that the slave knows it.
True, the Southern press exults over the re- port that the slaves would not join John Brown, as an all-convincing proo...f of their satisfaction and repose under the patriarchal rule. The Mem- phis clergyman before mentioned gives thanks for this new evidence that the servants are loyal to those who have given them the blessings of Chris- tian teaching? But all this is thinly veiled pre- tense. Their words look one way, their conduct another.
The slaves did not join John Brown ; but why ? If because they were cowardly, or because they preferred bondage to freedom, that is in itself the most damning of all testimonies to the degrading effect of slavery upon them.
