What reading level is The Works of Charles Sumner book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
NO BUST FOR AUTHOR OF DRED SCOTT DECISION. 279 departed from this law, it existed, nevertheless, as an example not to be forgotten by the Chief Justice.
Nor should he have forgotten that Pennsylvania, as early as 1712, passed an act to prevent the increase of slaves, although it was annulled by the Crown,^ and that this same State enacted, March 1, 1780, that all persons bom in that State after that day were free at the age of twenty-eight years.* But all this is in- consistent with the famous ..."axiom" on which the Chief Justice founded his fearful superstructure.
I need go no further than the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Curtis, on this very occasion, to find, that, " at the time of the ratification of the Articles of Con- federation, all free native-bom inhabitants of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina, though descended from African slaves, were not only citizens of those States, but such of them as had the other necessary qualifications pos- sessed the franchise of electors on equal terms with other citizens."* Was all this forgotten by the Chief Justice ?
