What reading level is Speech of Mr Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania in the House of Representatives book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He can hold no property. His very wife and children are not his. His labor is another's. He, and all that appertains to him, are the absolute property of his rulers. He is governed, bought, sold, punished, executed, by laws to which he never gave his assent, and by rulers whom he never chose. He is not a, serf merely, with half the rights of men, like the subjects of despotic Russia, but a naked slave, stripped of every right whicli God and nature gave him, and which the high spirit of our Revo...lution declared inalienable — which he himself could not surrender, and which man could not take from him. Is he not, then, the subject of despotic sway ? The slaves of Athens and of Rome were free, in comparison. They had some rights — could acquire some property — could choose their own masters, and purchase their own freedom ; and when free, could rise in social and political life. The slaves of America, then, lie under the most absolute and grinding despotism that the world ever saw. But who are the despots 1 The rulers of the country— the sovereign people I Not merely the slaveholder who cracks the lash ; he is but the instrument of despotism.
