What reading level is The American Spirit book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No institutions have contributed more toward equalizing those opportunities and toward en- dowing the sons and daughters of the wage- earners equally with those of wage-payers, than the institutions of education in our land. They are the great levelers, in the sense of making the pathway of success not a royal road, but a democratic highway, where the re- wards wait upon merit.
The three greatest, most visioned, and pic- turesque founders of the colonies that became the thirteen original States... were, Roger "Wil- liams, the Pioneer of religious liberty, William Penn, the Proprietor of peace and good-will, and General James Edward Oglethorpe, the benevolent Apostle of equal opportunity and philanthropy, who founded Georgia to open the gates of freedom to the unfortunate debtor, which gates he kept wide open to re- ceive the oppressed from every land, and held firmly closed against every form of persecution and slavery. To his colony came not alone the unfortunate debtors who by thousands were yearly confined to the pest-breeding dungeons of Fleet prison, Newgate, and Old Bailey, but also the poor persecuted Salzbur- RELIGIOUS LIBERTY 245 gers, and some of the ill-fated Jews who had escaped the fangs and fires of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal.
