What reading level is Abraham Lincoln : An Essay C.1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was rather the entreaty of a sorfowing fa- ther speaking to his wayward children. In the kindliest language he pointed out to the secessionists how ill advised their at- tempt at disunion was, and why, for their own sakes, they should desist. Almost plaintively, he told them that, while it was not their duty to destroy the Union, it was Jiis sworn duty to preserve it ; that the least he could do, under the obligations of his oath, was to possess and hold the pro- perty of the United States ;... that he hoped to do this peaceably ; that he abhorred war for any purpose, and that they would have none unless they themselves were the ag- gressors. It was a masterpiece of persua- 66 Abraham Liiicoln siveness, and, while Lincoln had accepted many valuable amendments suggested by Seward, it was essentially his own. Prob- ably Lincoln himself did not expect his inaugural address to have any effect upon the secessionists, for he must have known them to be resolved upon disunion at any cost. But it was an appeal to the wavering minds in the North, and upon them it made a profound impression.
