What reading level is Eight Years in Congress, From 1857 to 1865 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Slavery agitation, North and South, is the cause, and it has been carried on by both abolition and secession. It takes two millstones to grind the grist. From the beginning of secession I denounced it. I be- lieve, in view of aU its consequences, that it is the worst crime since the scene on Calvary. But,- sir, I am at as great a loss how to apportion the guilt between secession and the abolition which begat it, as I would be to apportion the guilt of the crucifixion between Judas and the Roman... soldiers.
If there is any difference, it is in £etvor of the bold parricide, and against the insidious betrayer. And now, as the climax of this abolitionism, we find the Grovemor of Massachusetts, when called on to send more troops to the aid of the Grovemment, laying down conditions — conditions to his loyalty.
He is willing for his people to crowd the roads with recruits* if only the blacks are to be freed by the war, and Hunter's proclamation is 1^ un- touched by the President. But if this be not done, it will be a heavy draft on the patriotism of Massachusetts.
