What reading level is Progress of the United States of America in the Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The States still out of the Union * were grouped into five dis- tricts, each under the control of a Federal general, who was to superintend the enrolment of citizens under the terms of the Reconstruction Act of March 2. Such citizens were to vote for delegates for State conventions ; by the latter bodies constitutions satisfactory with regard to the franchise were to be framed; these were to be submitted to the original voters, and, if ratified, were to be transmitted for the approval of Congre...ss. When that approval had been obtained, the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment would finish the process of Reconstruc- tion and the State would be received into the Union. It is needless to comment on this doctrinaire scheme, for it can be sufficiently judged by its fruits; but we may at least question the value of constitutional amendments obtained by compulsion.
The saturnalia that ensued can be better imagined than described ; the horrors of war paled before the disgusting outrages of Reconstruction, and it is to be hoped that never again will any considerable body of Anglo-Saxons be treated as the Southern whites * The total number of States had been increased by the prem- ature admission of Nevada in 1864 and by the more normal admission of Nebraska in 1867.
