What reading level is No Treason in Civil War volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have not spoken these words of kindness in behalf of our subdued enemies to turn off your eyes from their treason, pro- vided they arc justly liable to prosecution for treason. Bear in mind, that I did not refer to this wide-spread belief in the right of Secession for the purpose of furnishing an excuse for ti-eason. NO TREASON IN CIVIL WAR. 15 but only to furnish a reason for bringing and continuing this War under the humane and merciful code of war. Neverthe- less, I must say that, in the l...ight of their sincere* and, so far as great names could make it such, authorized belief in the right of Secession, we ought, with reluctance rather than with alacrity, to enter upon this prosecution for treason, even if it be clear that there is treason in the case. One thing more, however, do I say — and it is that this belief in the right of Secession greatly aggravates the meanness and wickedness of the absurd attempt to hold men guilty of treason under the law of war. Surely, surely, it does not become the North, where also the doctrine of State Sovereignty has prevailed so widely, to be eager to pun- ish those who have been led by the doctrine into criminal deeds.
