What reading level is America's Foreign Relations book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is quite probable that Congress would have gone to the extent of immediately recog- nizing the independence of Texas and admitting her to the Union, had not John Quincy Adams, who was now a member of the House of Representatives, made a powerful speech against such action, basing his opposition not upon unwillingness to acquire new territory but upon the certainty that the course proposed would immediately involve us in a war with Mexico.
This speech produced a marked impression, especially ...in the North, and provoked Jackson to denounce Adams as his "arch enemy" and to charge him with having defeated the annexation of Texas. It was even said, by Jackson's partizans, that Adams had deliberately sacrificed and renounced Texas in the Florida treaty, the fact being, of course, just the reverse — that Adams had demanded the inclusion of Texas as a part of the Louisiana purchase, but was overruled by his colleagues in the cabinet.
Even at this time Adams was doubtless inclined toward the an- nexation of Texas, but he did not want to do in a dishonorable way and at the cost of war what might have been done honor- ably and without a single blow.
