What reading level is Reconstruction of the Union volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It might be prevented or suppressed — the constitution gave power to do that, but it gave no power to punish. But now, under the pressure of necessity, civil government is with- drawn from such States, and they are punished with a military rule. The disability of self-govermnent is the penalty of their offence.
PAST REVOLUTIONS. 65 And we Iiave these strange anomalies. The mastery of the sword, in other hands, is establislied over those who were the first to appeal to that mastery, and those St
...ates who insisted iipon their right to go out of the Union, are now, notwithstand- ing their earnest claim for admittance, kept out, and bj those very States who went into tlie war for the avowed purpose of preventing their going out.
In like manner our general government, which for the first thirty or forty years of this century was conducted on the princi- ple of the strictest construction of limited and delegated powers, has, now, by a series of events and the necessities growing out of tiiem, by the action of Congress, by the adjudications of our Courts, and by the undisputed exercise of power, become as strong, as vigorous, and as exempt from the trammels of rigid in- terpretation as even Alexander Hamilton himself ever advocated or desired, and as free from the weaknesses which beset the Articles of Confederation as any one can wish.
