To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Especially, at the present stage of our development as a people, was it needful to distin guish between Americans of slave and free States, and those again of communities old and new. Only in a free State might one labor for himself and win position by it; only in a new one did he escape conventional society and the usual exaction of deference to the local aristocracy. Lines of demarcation like these were graven deeply into the Anglo-American nature.
Nothing was more firmly implanted by this ti...me in AMERICAN CHARACTER 241 the American nature than a fundamental faith in the sovereignty of the people, and a conviction that the will of the majority should rule. The principle was ap plied in private co-operation, secular or religious, as well as the affairs of state ; and even they who happened to be in a present minority assented to the rule, knowing well its value to themselves should they hereafter pre ponderate in numbers, as they hoped, and turn the scales. This majority doctrine was the vital function of our American system ; for it imposed self-discipline, pointed to persuasion as the true means of acquiring personal influence, and kept the general society con stantly armed against the arrogance of its individual members.
