To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Foreigners reproached us with our mercenary spirit. We, ourselves, laughed over the achievements of the "-Almighty dollar, " much as Nero fiddled while Rome was burning.
But nothing is plainer than that this, our sin, has now its penalty. God first sent a whirlwind over the land, and for- tunes were prostrated everywhere. The desolations of '57 will not soon be forgotten. But the lesson was not heeded. Men said, These convulsions have a law of periodic return : we shall go on smoothly, now, for... twenty years. So they gathered up the wrecks and spread their sails again. Yet, now what do we see ? They who but yesterday counted their wealth by hundreds of thousands, are reduced to poverty. Riches take wings and fly away. This war would never have come upon us, had not the interests of trade protested against a lawful resistance to slavery. No one of us can forget what scorn was heaped upon those who resisted the passage of the Compromise Measures of 1854. The Northern marts of trade cried peace !
