What reading level is The Sugar Barons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A naval officer on the expedition, Henry Whistler, described the doleful scene on the wharf: ‘This wose a sad day with our maryed men’, he wrote. Husbands were ‘hanging doune thaier heads, loath to depart’. Couples were embracing, ‘sume of them profesing more love the one to the other in one halfe our then they had performed in all the time of thayer being together’. At two o’clock the fleet sailed, the wind blowing freshly at ENE. Whistler’s ship briefly ran aground, but then got under way agai...n. In the evening, light rain began to fall, and at midnight the wind veered SSE, ‘a faier galle’.This expedition represented an important new departure. It was no corsair raid, it was ‘take-and-hold’. For the first time, England was to attempt to conquer colonial territory of one of its European rivals. For the first time, imperialism was to be directed by the centre; colonies were to be acquired by order of London, rather than by the actions of merchant syndicates, entrepreneurs or adventurers on the ground.The fate of the men leaving Portsmouth set an unhappy precedent for further imperial wars in the West Indies.
