What reading level is Studies of the Old South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The hasty gen- eralizer will assure you that the South — meaning thereby the whole of the seceding states — flew to arms in order to extend slavery into the territories or to prevent its threat- ened destruction within her own borders, or that no longer in sympathy with the ideals of the Republic, she wantonly desired its destruction. Whether or not this be true of the Cotton States we need not discuss. To Virginia, and in consequence to the people of Virginia, the insinuation is a grave injust...ice. It was on the Old Dominion that the brunt of the conflict rested. She furnished its great leaders, she furnished thousands of the flower of her youth. Her lands were rent, and torn asunder, but to charge that her sons were given to the sword, and her bosom as the battle-ground for the fiercest was of modern times because for sooth "Virginia revered the institution of slavery, and from selfish motives fought to make more sure the muniments of its existence; that she desired the destruction of the union, and the degenerate abandonment of the inspiring dreams of liberty, and progress, which it was designed to assure" is a proposition as false as it is unwarrantable.
