What reading level is The Prosperity of the South Dependent Upon the Elevation of the Negro book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The lawmakers of a great country. Aladdin's cave itself affords no more enchanting temptation than does the ballot offer to the Virginia negro. Yesterday a slave in chains, the ballot to-day seats him in the august halls of Congress. Fancy herself nowhere discloses a more striking transformation, and it is only comparable to 72 The Pro^erity of the Soutli Dependent nature when it unfolds the brilliant moth from the hid- eous grub.
The ballot also means emolument; no, not that, it means fabulous... riches; for the negro who to-day may be sweating in the field for $8. 00 a month, or at most $25. 00 or $30. 00 as porter, may to-morrow be given an office worth $1, 000 or more a year, or he may be elected to the Legislature, M'here in one day he makes, without labor, almost the wages of a month, or he may be elected to Congress, where the fabulous sum of $5, 000 a j^ear and perquisites awaits him — and all by the grace of the ballot. A land floMdng with milk and honey is nothing to these possibilities.
