What reading level is A Political Prophecy of the Forty-Eighters in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The government shall religion. Church property to own all railroads. The rail- revert to the state.^ road to the Pacific shall be built at the cost of the state.
10. No official position to be allowed persons dependent on the Pope.
In a certain sense, this program of Heinzen's may be called prophetic, — and, while at that time it may have seemed visionary and even ridiculous,^ nevertheless, many of the reforms proposed have since been carried out or are at present being advocated by such men as... W. J. Bryan and Theodore Roosevelt. Heinzen, like many another reformer, was some fifty years in advance of his contemporaries.
It was inevitable that men like Heinzen who had played so prominent a role in European politics, should exercise a powerful influence upon the political attitude of their coun- trymen in America. Yet, in spite of their patriotic activity, they were at first not only underestimated as a group, but their individual efforts were seldom recognized. Adhering too rigidly to their principles and hence despising the com- mon American practice of compromise, it was impossible for them to be popular with the practical politicians of their time.^ In addition to this fact they were convinced that the unscrupulousness and corruption of American political life was bound to undermine the very foundations of the re- public, and they strove against this with might and main.
