What reading level is A Northern Plea for the Right of Secession book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
HAVE WE XOT PAID FOR THOSE STATES?
But it is argued that we have paid millions of money to acquire Louisiana, Texas, and Florida, and that therefore we have a pecuniary claim upon them. But if so, this claim must be either of the nature of a debt, due from a sovereign State to the general government, or else the general government must have a pecuniary proprietorship in such States. If the former, the debt must be enforced like any other pecu- niary obligation between different nations. But if ...the latter, then those States are mere serfdoms, and not free sovereignties. And the people are not sovereigns, exercising self-government, choosing their own su- preme executive; but only serfs of the soil, transferable from one poten- tate to another for a pecuniary consideration.
But is this so ? Is Louisiana a serfdom, sold by the French, and pur- chased by the American empire for fifteen millions of dollars ? and did the lone star republic, after bravely achieving her own independence, ignobly sell herself into everlasting serfdom to the United States, for ten millions?
