What reading level is The Family Greene book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Mama was not in attendance. She stayed in bed, Eulinda by her side. The rest of us gathered round the small coffin. And all the slaves sang their songs to oblige Pa, but I knew the sad cadence of these spirituals only brought him lower than he needed to be.
When Pa and Mama had lived up north, they'd never had any slaves. They did not believe in slavery. But after the war, Pa had no money. He'd given thirty thousand pounds sterling to merchants to cover debts because they'd supplied his troops w...ith clothing and other necessities. All his wartime investments went bad. His privateers lost fortunes. The iron furnace showed no profit.
That's what Mama had told us.
That's when the Georgia legislature gave him Mulberry Grove.
Pa had once written to his friend Abel Thomas, a Philadelphia Quaker, On the subject of slavery, nothing can be said in its defense.
And then, of a sudden, he had Mulberry Grove, which had more than 1,300 acres and included "fine river swamp" for cultivating rice, and a "very elegant house." South Carolina gave him a plantation called Boone's Barony, 6,600 acres on the Edisto River.
