What reading level is Illinois An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Edward Coles, a strong anti-slavery man, was elected gov- ernor, but the legislature was pro-slavery, and at the session of 1823, after unseating an anti-slavery member to give the pro-slavery men the required number of votes, a law was passed providing for submitting the question of the calling of a convention to revise the Constitution to a vote of the people. The vote was had on the second of August, 1824, and the proposition for the Convention was defeated by a majority of 1, 668 votes out ...of a total vote of 11, 612, and Illi- nois remained a free State. The contest of 1824, over the calling of a convention to revise the Constitution of Illinois, was the most bitter political contest ever waged in the his- tory of the State. It was but a fore-runner of the resort to arms which drenched the country in blood thirty-seven years later.
In 1837 Elijah P. Lovejoy was murdered by a pro-slavery The Murder m ob at Alton, and the State was shaken from center to cir- of Lovejoy cumference by the agitation of the slavery question.
