What reading level is A History of the United States book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

She breathes! She lives! She'll come! she'll come! Maryland! My Maryland!" But Maryland did not come. The whole political conception which underlayLee's move was false. It may seem curious that those who, wheneverything seemed to be in favour of the North, had stoned Unionsoldiers in the streets of the State capital, should not have moved afinger when a great Southern soldier came among them with the glamour ofvictory around him and proclaimed himself their liberator. Yet so itproved. The proba...ble explanation is that, Maryland lying under theshadow of the capital, which was built for the most part on herterritory, Lincoln could deal with her people directly. And wherever hecould get men face to face and show the manner of man he was, he couldpersuade. Maryland was familiar with "the despot" and did not find his"heel" at all intolerable. The image of the horrible hairy Abolitionistgloating constantly over the thought of a massacre of Southerners byNegroes, which did duty for a portrait of Lincoln in the South, was notconvincing to Marylanders, who knew the man himself and found him akindly, shrewd, and humorous man of the world, with much in his personand character that recalled his Southern origin, who enforced the lawwith strict impartiality wherever his power extended, and who, aboveall, punctiliously returned any fugitive slaves that might seek refugein the District of Columbia.
