What reading level is Slavery in America An Essay for the Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They saw in the sys- tem an element of national weakness, as well as of moral wrong ; and so far as their own States were concerned, they had generally testified their disapproval of it by the adop- tion of measures for its mitigation or its final removal. And yet, with all the circumstances of the question before their eyes, and a full knowledge of the condition and tendencies of the system, they saw very cleai-ly that it was not within their power or province to control it, or to coerce the o...ther States into a compliance with their views of the matter ; and so they left the question as it stood, and proceeded upon their own firm convictions of the necessity for a union of the States, to frame a constitution upon Avhich all sections should agree.
The constitution thus agreed upon, embraces a provision which recognises the slave system in all the States, to the extent of delivering up fugitives from service on demand made by those concerned ; making it an imperative duty on the part of the authorities, in all the States, even in those were slavery did not exist, to acknowledge its exis- tence in other States, and to take active measures in restoring escaped slaves to those who can establish a claim to their services under the laws of the State from which they came.
