To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best ; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically cer- tain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents. There is one choice we cannot make, we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or v...io- lated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.
With a profound sense of the solemn and even trag- ical character of the step I am taking and of the grave re- sponsibilities which it involves, but in unhesitating obe- dience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Impe- rial German Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it; and that it take im- mediate steps not only to put the country in a more thor- ough state of defense but also to exert all its power and employ all its resources to bring the Government of the German Empire to terms and end the war.
