What reading level is The Negro Question book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That men should be willing to follow whoever is for their induction into all and only the full measure of American freedom, and count that their supreme necessity, is the poorest proof in the world that they are all opposed to pure government. It is rarely, if ever, said that the Negroes have no patriotism. But patriotism inevitably implies some worthy-measure of desire for pure govern- ment. Can any one suppose there is no patriot- ism anywhere among 8,000,000 of people who cannot be worried o...ut of the country of their birlh ? The assertion that the whole mass of Negroes in the South is inimical to pure govern- ment, is emotional, not rational.
128 STRUGGLE FOR PURE GOVERNMENT.
III.
But we have next the assertion that they would become so if the hand of suppression were withdrawn. This is a very ancient argu- ment. A century ago it was believed and prac- tically applied against millions of white men, just as it isn6w urged against millions of Negroes, and was based on the same specious assumption, that the ignorant, unintelligent and unmoneyed man is virtually in all cases dangerous to society and government, and most dangerous when in- vested with civil and political liberty.
