What reading level is Dr Henrys Speech At Geneva Plain Reasons for the Great Republican Movement book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No doubt, if the North liad without murmur or resistance permitted the South to have its way, these brutal and wicked scenes would never have occurred. All would have gone on in sweet peace. But what is this in principle ? What, but to consecrate the burglar's or highwayman's trade, who says, with a pistol at your breast, " make no resistance and no cry, or death is your instant fate ?" So, indeed, the horrors of our Revolutionary War would have been avoided, had our forefathers oflFered no res...istance to British usurpation. What is this but to justify the murder, if you do not submit to the robbery ? I am not so much surprised at this plea coming from the South. It is a way of feeling that naturally and always springs up in the relations between a superior and a degraded race, between the lord and the slave. The instinct of self-preservation prompts them to overbear all opposition to their own will, to punish terribly all resistance, to tolerate neither murmur or remonstrance. But that such a plea should ever be put forth by anybody at the North in justification or in excuse for atrocities, the recital of which makes the blood curdle with horror ; that the immense majority of the people of the North should be reproached for those atrocities by anybody among us ; this, I confess, excites my surprise and — some other feelings hard to be repressed, but scarcely possible to be ade- quately expressed.
