What reading level is Three Addresses On the Relations Subsisting Between the White And Colored People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was not, however, till the national conscience began to be quickened by the reverses of our armies, and legislators to realize the dangers which threatened the life of the nation, that the cause could muster sufficient strength to gain a hearing in Congress.
On the 16th of December, 1861, Mr. Wilson, of Massachu- setts, introduced into the Senate a bill providing for the im- mediate emancipation of slaves in the District upon the pay- ment to the owners of $300 for each slave. As was to be e...x- pected the bill was antagonized by pro-slavery men in the Sen- ate and House. They feared that the measure proposed was the entering wedge for the final overthrow of their pet insti- tution in the South. As subsequent events proved their fears were not without foundation. Notwithstanding the bitter opposition which the bill encountered, it passed both houses of Congress in less than four months from its first introduc- tion in the Senate, and was approved by the President on the 16th of April, just twenty-four years ago to-day.
