What reading level is The Life of Stephen a Douglas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

If all other considerations are to be made to yield to the paramount object of prohibiting slavery in Kansas upon the ground that the inequality which it imposes is unjust to the negro, will that injustice be removed by adopting a Constitution which in effect declares that the negro, whether free or slave, shall never tread the soil, nor drink the water, nor breathe the air of Kansas ? The senator from New York ad- mits that the Constitution with which he proposes by his bill to admit Kan- sas ...contains such a provision. Under the code of laws enacted by the Terri- torial Legislature of Kansas, which the senator, in common with his party, professes to consider monstrous and barbarous, a negro may go to Kansas and be protected in all his rights, so long as he obeys the laws of the land.
In order to get rid of those laws, the senator from New York proposes to give effect to a constitutional provision which is designed to prevent the negro forever from entering the state.
I should like to hear from the senator from Massachusetts on this point.
