What reading level is The Southern Negro As He is book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

" His imitative power is great ; but the faculty of origina- tion is wanting. Where the white race leads, he will follow, but always at a distance, in the ratio of their respective capacities.
3d. What are his qualifications as a voter?
" At present, except under circumstances described above, the old phrase, ' floating vote, ' expresses him as a voter, with a tendency to side against property, intelligence, and virtue ; not from opposition to them as such, but because of his indis- tinct conce
...ptions and want of understanding. " From want of opportunity for education, he is of course ignorant, and his negative qualifications may be summed up as follows : — He neither reads nor writes. He is immoral. He reasons imperfectly. What he is told he remembers confusedly. He has no power of analysis. He is gregarious with his own race. He is easily influenced, but cannot be depended upon, even if he accepts a bribe. He has little of what is called " common-sense. " In all these particulars he differs little from the ignorant white voter of the North ; but with us at the North the igno- 20 rant whites are very greatly in the minority, and the danger and inconvenience in the administration of the government of the smaller towns, arising from their presence, is very slightly felt ; while under similar conditions at the South, the Negro is greatly in the majority, and the difficulty of manag- ing such a mass of irresponsible voters in the interest of good government is very great, and serious, if by any exciting cause he is brought to the polls.
