What reading level is Speech of Hon Daniel E Sickles of Ny On the State of the Union Delivered book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people have been taught this by reckless leaders now in power in most of the States, and soon to claim the power of the Federal Government; and it is upon them that the responsibility rests in this emergency. They have striven, in speeches and essays elaborately prepared by the midnight lamp, to alienate the North and the South. These insidious ap- peals are written or revised by those who believe that private opinion is superior to constitutional obligations — the higher law — put forth he...re and sent from this Capitol in untold millions, to undermine the foundations of fraternal good faiih. Thus, sir, by teaching untruth to the people they have been made to be- lieve that their consciences were not bound by the Constitution or the law of the land. In the name of Heaven, how idle it is to talk, in the face of such a public opinion, of amending a Coustitution, when none of those who follow the leaders to whom I refer, care whether it is obeyed or not ! What a mockery it would be to so before the Legislatures of States which have "personal-liberty-laws" upon their stal^ute-books, and ask them for an amendment to the Constitution !
