To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Most unexpectedly, for reasons not necessary to recapitulate here, a wonderful unanimity was shown by all classes and all parties In support of the war during the first year of Its continuance. Then began that period of trial and despondency, which, as it has come upon every country engaged in prolonged war, so it came upon us. The extravagant hopes and headlong confidence with which all nations, especially those with a popular form of government, plunge Into a war for a cause which is dear to ...them, are chilled if the end Is not speedily reached. Distrust and disgust succeed to the early enthusiasm, and people soon turn from blaming the conduct of the war to seriously questioning the policy of carrying it on at all. This Is the critical period of all wars waged for a principle, and the manner in which it Is met tests the courage and the constancy of those who have embarked In It. Such a crisis oc- i6 curred in this country in the autumn of 1862. The disasters in the Peninsula, the widely differing opinions in regard to the capacity of the Commander of one of our armies, the necessity for more troops and greater sacrifices, the Emancipation Proclamation, and many other causes, all going to prove that the struggle would be a long and bloody one, utterly destroyed the una- nimity which had up to that time prevailed among all parties in regard to the necessity of its vigorous prose- cution.
