What reading level is The New South, An Inside View; An Address Delivered Before the Congregational Club, Kingsley Hall, Boston, March the Twenty-Third, 1908 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And I have known of white men convicted on the testimony of negroes and punished for their crimes ; and of negroes found not guilty when those testifying against them were white men. We know his surroundings, his character, his desires and his weaknesses, and from his testimony we can generally tell where the truth is.
Though he be friendless the courts look sharply to the justice of the cause, because of his helplessness and pov- erty. I believe I can say in the main the negro has his day in t...he courts of the South.
As for his being in "danger of actual violence," I think the charge and such fear, if entertained, are groundless. The white man does not kill the negro, nor the negro the white man as often as the negro kills the negro at the South.
In this connection I will repeat what I said last year in Nashville in a study of the cause of increasing crime in the United States as it has application to the negro's part: "Is it a question of racial difference? Texas, with a population of 2,500,000 white and 625,000 negroes, has about the same number of homicides as Alabaina, Lou- isiana and South Carolina, with 2,688,371 white and 2,-, 760,432 negroes; while in Nevada, with only 134 negroes and 1,520 Chinese, in a population of 42,333 the homi- cides are 89, the highest rate in the United States.
