What reading level is The Slave Trade book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The current information of the day leaves no room to doubt that cargoes of slaves are being landed, from time to time, in the Gulf States, and that preparations are being made to enter upon the traffic in good earnest and upon a large scale. The conditions exist, which render the continuance and expan- sion of the traffic inevitable. There is a market for the subject-matter of the traffic, offering a profit vastly exceeding the risk. In fact, the risk is reduced to the small one of capture upon... the high seas by the public vessels of the United States, and it is now certain that such capture involves only the loss of ship and cargo, unat- tended with danger of personal punishment to the parties concerned. If the cargo is once landed, the risk is enaed, and the venture reali- zed. Southern newspapers contain advertise- ments from responsible planters, offering so much per head for imported Africans. The interposi- tion of legal authority has bocome ab ortive. Law, according to oar frame of Government, is only enforceable through the instrumentality of juries, and Southern juries reflect, not the law, but the humors and prejudices of the vicinage.
