What reading level is The Duty of Strengthening Liberia An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The apathy which has lately fallen upon our peojile with regard to helping on the African colonization cause is owing to a strange misap- prehension of our duty. We often hear it said. Your Colonization So- ciety did much good in the time of slavery in the South, but, since the day of emancipation, its mission is ended. The colored people have a right to stay here, and their labor is wanted here. If any wish to go to Liberia, let them obtain the means themselves. At any rate, it is no affair of... ours; we are not responsible for their present condi tion. Now this position is untenable; we are all wrong. The fact is, the whole country, and every State, as part of the Union, is morally re- sponsible for the former existence of African slavery in the South, and the consequent present condition of the freedmen. All the old States agreed to the continuance of the slave trade for twenty years after the formation of the Constitution of the United States. Subsequently, the whole country became responsible for the enforcement of the law for the rendition of fugitive slaves from within its borders; and for those Northern statesmen educated in the North, who afterwards settled in Southern States, became Governors, or Senators and Representatives in Congress, and were most pronounced in their pro-slavery opinions and influence.
