What reading level is Speech of John Bell of Tennessee On Slavery in the United States And the Caus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The conse- quence was, that the mode of resistance resorted to by the Representatives of the South in Congress was rather calculated to inflame and strengthen the abolition movement, than to defeat its progress. It happened in this case, as in all others of great excitement, and where great interests are involved, that those who were most zealous and disposed to adopt the greatest ex- tremes, controlled the more moderate and judicious. Assuming it as a clear proposition, that Congress had no co...nstitutional power to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, Southern gentlemen, in resisting the abolition movement, made their first stand, m opposition to the right of petition. This was, in my judgment, a mistaken policy in those who desired to repress agitation, or to defeat the designs of the abolitionists. The right of petition, upon all subjects, in popular estimation, has a tra- ditionary sacredness, in this country, which renders it dangerous to ques- tion or deny it in any but the clearest cases of abuse or misapplication.
