What reading level is Views of American Slavery Taken a Century Ago book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Earth, sea, cover not thou their blood !
6. When they are brought down to the shore in order to be sold, our surgeons thoroughly examine them, and that quite naked, women and men, with- THOUGHTS UPON SLAVERY. 85 out any distinction. Those that are approved are set on one side. In the mean time a burning iron, with the arms or name of the company, lies in the fire, with which they are marked on the breast. Before they are put into the ships, their masters strip them of all they have on their bac...ks, so that they come on board stark naked, women as well as men. It is common for several hundreds of them to be put on board one vessel, where they are stowed together in as little room as it is possible for them to be crowded. It is easy to suppose what a condition they must soon be in, between heat, thirst, and stench of various kinds; so that it is no wonder so many should die in the passage, but rather that any survive it.
7. When the vessels arrive at their destined port, the negroes are again exposed naked to the eyes of all that flock together, and the examination of their purchasers ; then they are separated to the planta- tions of their several masters, to see each other no more.
