To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Desert. I worked, loading and unloading vessels that came into Wilmington, and could earn from one dollar to a dollar and a quarter a day. While my wife and family were spared to bless my home by their presence and love, I was comparatively happy. But I found then that the agony of the terrible thought, " I am a slave, my wife is a slave, my precious children are slaves," grew bitter and insupportable, just as the hap- piness in the society of my beloved home became more distinct and abounding.... And this one cup of bitterness was ever at my lips. Hearts of kind sympathy and tender pity, did I not drain that cup of bitter woe to its very dregs, when my family were carried off into re- turnless exile, and I was left a heart broken, lonely man ! Can you be still inactive while thousands are drinking that potion of despair every year in this land of schools and Bibles ? After I parted from my family, I continued to toil on, but not as I had done before.
My home was darker than the holds of ships in which I worked.
