What reading level is Never Been a Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
—Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835 In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Northern states one by one officially outlawed slavery, generally in gradual stages. In 1800, about eighty-three thousand blacks lived in the North. Between then and the Civil War, more than two hundred thousand escaped slaves, freedmen, and blacks from the Caribbean moved to the North—often at great peril—seeking asylum, social and political freedom, jobs, and equality. Instead, they met ha...rsh inequality, widespread segregation, and cruelly limited opportunities for employment. As their population grew, more and more so-called Black Laws were passed that sharply curtailed or eliminated their right to vote, to educate their children in public schools, and to use the courts to ensure their rights.1 In the first decades of the century, the largest concentration of free blacks in the Northern United States was in Philadelphia, the location of the worst racial attacks. Philadelphian Charles Godfrey Leyland remarked in his memoirs of the period, “Whoever shall write a history of Philadelphia from the Thirties to the era of the Fifties will record a popular period of turbulence and outrages so extensive as to now appear almost incredible.”2 Philadelphia was founded as the City of Brotherly Love by the Quakers, who would become vehement opponents of slavery.
