What reading level is Letter of Commodore Stockton On the Slavery Question volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now, when we come to reflect calmly and candidly upon all these circumstances, in connection with the question — is domestic slavery, as it exists at the South, a sin ? it seems to me that question must be answered in the negative. The relation of master and slave may be, and doubtless is, sometimes the occasion ON SLAVERY. 17 of cruelty and injustice. But this is also true of the relation of husband and wife, parent and child, master and apprentice, and of employer and employed in our system o...f labor. But the abuses of a system or relation form no sound argument against the system or relation itself. I am no apologist for abuse. I am as ready as any man to denounce cruelty, unnatural separations, a disregard of the domestic relations, or a deprivation of the means of moral and religious culture to the slave, under our system of slavery, as a crime. But the correction of these belongs to the duties of the State Governments. We, in New Jersey, have no more right to interfere with South Carolina, than she with us, in such matters — nor in fact have we in New Jersey any more right to interfere with the slaves of South Carolina or Georgia, than we have with the slaves of Russia or Austria.
