What reading level is Genius of Universal Emancipation volume 275 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The awful massacre at Soulliampton was not the work of free blacks, nor have they been in any way implicated in its guilt — degraded and depraved slaves alone, were the brutal perpetrators. Your Memorialists entertaining the views which they have here expressed, cannot but re- gard with deep solicitude the proposition now before your Honorable body, to prohibit ma- numission except on condition of removal to Africa, or some other place out of the state. To the friends of humanity generally, and... to the friends of colonization in particular, it might be supposed the very agitation of such a measure would be unwelcome. Its adoi)tion by giving a compulsory, and therefore an odi- ous, character to the colonization scheme, would only increase the prejudice against it, already wide spread among the Blacks, and in all probability put an end to voluntary emi- gration. To those who from friendship for the Colonization Society, may advocate the prohibitory measure now before your honora- ble body, your Memorialists would respectful- ly say — Let a generation grow up on the soil of their nativity, let there be seen what time is wanting to show the example of a well or- dered, well govei-ned community there — in the meantime, let every thing be done here by facilitating emancipation, and by affording the advantages of a plain education, and all will be accomplished towards the removal of the black population that is practicable con- sistently with justice and humanity.
