What reading level is The South American Republics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
157 that of Peru; so our attention will now be directed principally to the more recent conditions.
After their conquest by the Spaniards in the six- teenth century, the people were subjected to a system of oppression which has few parallels in the history of the world. They were treated little better than beasts of burden. It was their labor that dug out the gold and silver from the mines, that cultivated the lands, that tended the large flocks and herds, and performed all domestic and menial s...ervices.
The owners of mines and land claimed the right to the personal service of the Indian population that surrounded the district in which their property was located.
A certain number of Indians were annually chosen from the district, by lot, to serve these landownei-s.
Some idea may be formed of the effects of such a rule from the fact that 1400 mines were registered in Peru alone, and that every mine which remained unworked for a year and a day became the property of the first claimant. So greatly did the Indians, upon whom the lot fell, dread the labor in the mines that they con- sidered it equal to a sentence of death, and made all arrangements accordingly.
