What reading level is Slaveholding a Malum in Se Or Invariably Sinful book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Said the celebrated Montes- quieu : ' We must not admit that the Negro is a man, lest it should follow that we are not Christians. ' This unwarrantable degradation of man from his original and proper rank in creation, to an article of property, to the place and uses of a thing, is not an acac?ewf of slavery ; it is the very essence of the thing; its cardinal principle ; that which must enter into a system of servitude to constitute it slavery ; that, without which there cannot be a slave. A dep...rivation of self-ownership — this is the unwarrantable degra- dation of man — and this is inseparable from slavery ; it is slavery itself; and hence every act of slaveholding is essentially sinful.
Should any think this argument inconsistent with the right of punishing crime by imprisonment, since this is placing man in an unnatural condition, where he cannot discharge the ordinary du- ties of life ; we would refer them to this grand distinction between the two cases. While slavery pours contempt on the image of God, by pronouncing man a legitimate piece of property ; impris- onment for crime honors that image, by vindicating his violated rights : and while slavery removes man from his appropriate sphere of light, usefulness and enjoyment, to a land of darkness, 21 sterility and wo ; imprisonment for crime is a just measure of defence to society against the example and violence of a useless and unworthy member.
