What reading level is Side Lights On American History volume 02 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The soil of the southern States was capable of feeding its armies for any length of time ; its mineral wealth was inexhaustible ; as to men for the army, the boy of twelve years in 1860 was able to bear arms in 1865, and thus the depleted ranks might have been refilled and the war prolonged for indefinite years, but for the one thing need ful the South could not work its own mate rials. Could the South have worked its own cotton, could it have made its munitions of war and its machinery, who ca...n tell how long the struggle might have continued or how it might have ended ? for it had all the material at hand and lacked only the ability to use it.
The South owed its inability to manufacture its own goods to slavery. Slave labor had not the brains to manufacture ; it could only delve the soil. Free labor could not exist by the side of slave labor, hence the rich minerals of the South were left in the earth, and the cotton mills were built in New England and Liverpool.
Thus slavery not only brought about seces sion and the war, but, the war once begun, it CAUSES OF NORTHERN SUCCESS 131 insured the ultimate success of the North.
