What reading level is A New Era in Old Mexico book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One peculiarly exasperating development of this kind has not been mentioned. Various individual Span- iards, or associations of "Conquistadores, " as they rather insultingly called themselves, obtained from the Spanish crown monopolies of sundry articles of primary necessity. By placing an exorbitant price upon these products they soon managed to have a large number of natives constantly in their debt. The old savage laws concerning debtors, in vogue then throughout the world, were even more sa...vage in Mexico. The creditor virtually owned the debtor. For a poor man, a laboring man, getting into debt was equivalent to selling himself into slavery. And industrial slavery of this kind is really worse than domestic slavery, for if the slave is a chattel his own- er will take care of him so that his value may not diminish. But nobody cares whether a peon lives or Commercial Oppression. 65 dies. He cannot be sold, and his place, if he dies, can easily be filled.
The government also had certain monopolies — salt, tobacco, and gunpowder among them — besides one-fifth of the income of all the gold and silver mines, the sale of civil and ecclesiastical offices, a stamp tax, and a poll tax exacted only of the Indians.
