What reading level is William Lloyd Garrison volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Abo- litionists stand nearer to a sense of justice, nearer to rational modern life than the rest of our compatriots of that time. But the Abolitionists were not the motive power; they were merely the point of entrance of new life into the community. Every stroke of his pulse that told an Abolition- ist that something must be done about slavery, could perform its functions only by flashing down to Georgia, and coming back in the form of anger and of grief. Every argument that split a vestry,... or left a mind ruined was necessary. It was es- sential that these things should come.
The metaphysical question was always the same, namely: "How far legal argu- ment is valid when it contravenes human feelings?" The question assumed various forms while the fire was eating its way through society towards the powder maga- zine; but the substance of it never varied. The whole age-long contest in all its Pro- tean forms is summarized in a well-known 139 WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON legal anecdote. Judge Harrington of Ver- mont is said to have told the attorney for a Southern owner who was seeking to re- cover a fugitive slave in 1808, that his " evi- dence of ownership " was insufficient.
