What reading level is Reconstruction in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are writers like Bynkershock and Wolf, who assent to the broad principle that every thing done against an enemy is lawful, and that an unlimited right is acquired by the victor to his person and property. In early times, prisoners of war were, under the law of nations, made slaves; but a more humane principle has prevailed among civilized nations in modern times, and we have the doctrines as laid down in the incom- parable works of Grotius, Yattel, and Wheaton, which incul- 38 cate mild a...nd humane principles. More broadly, it may be stated tbat the rights of war, in respect to the enemy, are to be measured by the object of the war, and nntil that object is attained the nation can use every means necessary to accomplish the end for which arms were taken up. And as the war was intended for the maintenance of the Federal Government intact, and not for the purpose of conquest or spoliation of the South, the attempt to imitate the example of the last great conquest spoken of by Wheaton is unworthy of the statesmen of this age.
