To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If any class of men had a right to complain of our action that portion of the people of the South who had all through the war been true to the flag had the right to complain. AVhile they had given their strong arms and blood to save the nation, which had been the house of bondage to them, in the work of reorganizing they were passed by and given no voice.
They had the right by all that is just and righteous to demand that in the recreation of the States in which they lived they should have /Ith...e right to be heard.
But, sir, so far as the amendment is con- cerned, we closed our eyes and passed them by, as in the beginning of the war, intent more upon conciliation than doing full and ample justice to the friends of the Government.
As the refusal of the rebels to lay down their arms early in the war resulted in the overthrow of slavery and the freedom of four million slaves loyal to the Government, so will the rejection of the amendment by the people of the South speedily eventuate in the enfran- chisement of all those black men who but a few years ago were declared by the Supreme Court as having no rights which the white man was bound to respect.
