What reading level is The Reconstruction Period book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every freedman was required on the second Monday of January, 1866, and annually thereafter to have a lawful home or employment, with written evidence, such as license from the mayor in a town, or member of the police board in a country beat, or must show a written contract. Con tracts made with freedmen for longer than a month were to be in writing in duplicate, attested and read to the freed men by an official or two white private citizens. Fees were provided for the arrest of freedmen who had... quit service without good cause, and the employer might make affidavit as to such desertion, which should be followed by warrant of arrest. Enticing a freedman to desert legal employment, or giving such deserter aid, was a misdemeanor. A freedman ATTEMPTS AT RECONSTRUCTION 135 was given the right to charge any person, white or colored, with a criminal offense, and upon affidavit process should issue, and all penal laws of the State were to apply to freedmen, free negroes and mulattoes.
The legislation of South Carolina as to the freedmen was probably the most systematic and extensive of all the States, and this not only because South Carolina was thorough in whatever it undertook, but because the freedmen exceeded the whites in number and the subject was therefore of prime importance.
