What reading level is The Economic And Political Essays of the Ante-Bellum South book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In close harmony with Dew's argument, essays were written in the thirties and forties by Chancel- 184 HISTOEY OF THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE.
lor William Harper and Gov. J. H. Hammond, both of South Carolina, which were reprinted in 1852 along with Dew's essay and a slender one by W. G.
Simms, in a volume entitled the Pro-Slavery Argu- ment. Harper, following Dew's theme in general, lays main stress upon the civilizing and tranquiliz- ing effects of slavery. Hammond's essay, written in the form of a ...reply to Thomas Clarkson's attacks upon slavery, is an exceptionally strong apology for the institution. He concedes that slave labor is ex- pensive, by reason of the slave's first cost and the expense of feeding, clothing and sheltering him and his family in infancy, sickness and old age, in bad seasons as well as good ; and he prophesies that any great increase in the density of population will cause the abandonment of slavery by making free labor available and cheaper. Meanwhile, in view of the sparseness of the Southern population and the unfitness of the negroes for the stress of com- petition, he deprecates any radical readjustments and resents extraneous interference.
