To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But we must remember that he spoke from the standpoint of a thoroughly loyal citizen, who had been behind the scenes, had met the secessionists and known their power; who accurately gauged the ter- rible struggle upon which the country had embarked; and who longed 9 with an inexpressible longing that the Government should arise in its might and crush secession.
Events followed one another in rapid succession, even as disaster piled upon disaster. Mr. Cameron's continuance in the War office beca...me impossible because of a radical difference with Mr. Lincoln in the treatment of the slavery question; and the President not knowing that Stanton was even more advanced in his views called him to head that department. Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, who had done good service in Buchanan's cabinet in that very office was his first choice, but Seward and other influential persons turned the scale in Stanton's favor. When consulted upon the subject Stanton's reply was — "Tell the President I will accept if no other pledge than to throttle treason shall be exacted." From the day in which he took hold of the War office things changed, moved, improved; new life was infused into every department; the railway and telegraph lines, those invaluable aids, were made to serve the Government and to cease aiding the rebellion; those in civil or military life whose loyalty was doubtful were watched or dismissed; supplies were purchased at home and not abroad and gold ceased to be exported; the financial reports from New York and the leading monetary journals announced a "marked upward turn and advanced strength" in government securities "owing to the change in the War department and the energetic character of the new incumbent." Who can follow him through the succeeding three years?
