What reading level is Trains Speeches in England On Slavery And Emancipation Delivered in London O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Seven thousand negroes were to be tortured, mu- tilated, and burned to ashes over the funeral pile of the dead king — but owing to the high price of slaves, arising from England's rav- enous demand for cotton — (cheers) — still, as you observe, at her old work of Christian- izing the Heathen — (laughter) — negroes commanded too high a price at Dahomey to permit the royal treasury to luxuriate in such gigantic torture, hence the successors of the dead king tore away from their fami- lies only ei...ght hundred little children and old men, young girls, and aged women, and sacrified them with their instruments of tor- ture in honor of the dead chief, in accordance with the barbarous funeral rites of that un- happy land !
By purchasing slave-grown produce, Eng- land again did something for civilization in this case, as she did three centuries ago, when Sir John Hawkins landed his first cargo on the American shore. (Laughter and applause. ) Now, as Mr. Edwards can- not give me a single instance where any American slave on the American plantation has been sacrificed over the funeral pile in a similar manner — or point to a single instance of Cannibalism, he certainly must now admit by this last shot in my locker, that a system which does away with this inhuman practice — that Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell have in vain tried to uproot in Africa — must be beneficial to the African barbar- ian, and gives me the affirmative of the ar- gument that The Negro is a stepping-stone from African barbarism to Christian civ- ilization.
