What reading level is Frederick Douglass: the Colored Orator book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It leaves the slave in his fetters, in the undisturbed possession of his master, and does not grapple with the question of emancipation in the States." His own preference, in 1855, was for the Liberty party, which was " pledged to continue the struggle while a bondman in his chains remains to weep. Upon its platform must the great battle of freedom be fought out, if upon any short of the bloody field. It must be under no partial cry of * No union with slave-holders,' nor selfish cry of *No more... slavery extension,* but it must be, * No slavery for man under the whole heavens.' " His opinion of the Republican party was fully justified in 1856, when its convention, at Philadelphia, adopted a platform which had nothing to say against the Fugitive Slave Bill, or in favor of emancipation in the States ; while its candidate, Fremont, was selected with no more reference to his record as an Abolitionist than to his experience as a statesman. So far at least as the conventions of X852 and 1856 could be compared, there was perfect truth in the statement of our editor in i860: "The national conventions, held successively in Pittsburgh, Philadel- phia, and Chicago, have formed a regular descent from the better utterances of 1848 at Buffalo." No colored man spoke at Philadelphia, and but little was said by Abolitionists.
