What reading level is Ought the Negro to Be Disfranchised Ought He to Have Been Enfranchised book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was a choice between perpetual interference with the autonomy of the States — a policy at war with the fundamental principles of our Gov- ernment, and intolerable to the white populaiton of the South — and the risk of admitting to the suffrage four millions of people who were, as yet, in a large measure unfitted for its wise and intelligent exercise. In reviewing the situation as it existed from 18G7 to 18G9, I can not conceive on what grounds the wisdom of the choice then made can be denied.... Possibly a plan of granting suffrage gradually as the negro became more intelligent would have been wuser ; but the practical difficulties of such a plan would have been very great, and its discussion at this time can have no practical value.
The ballot was given to the negro not so much to enable him to govern others as to prevent others from misgoverning him. Suf- frage is the sword and shield of our law, the best armament that liberty offers to the citizen.
It would be strange indeed if the negro should always use this weapon with wisdom and honesty.
