What reading level is The Nation Still in Danger Or Ten Years After the War book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think that everv one must he aware that the freedmen at the South arc placed in a very trying and perilous condition by the war and its results. It was necessary t<» put them on a level with the whites, tn grant them equality of rights in all political respects, so that if excluded from the suffrage they must be excluded on the same conditions and by the same laws by which whites are exclud- ed. The result is, as was natural, that they are all voters ; ami thus we have two races living together, who must more or less dis- trust one another. It cannot but be, as long as the freedmen are uneducated and unenlightened, that they will be a prey to cunning men who will play upon their tears, and will seek to secure political power lor themselves by making the antagonisms of race as intense as possible. The only way to prevent this, if it can be prevented, is to enlighten the freedmen, and this light can only come from such an institution as the American Missionary Association. 1 am sorry to be obliged to feel that theirown religion, to whatever sect they may be- long, as long as they are illiterate, and their colored teachers are illit- erate, will not save them and the country from the evils, which may grow out oi collision of races.
