What reading level is Speech of Mr Plumer of New Hampshire On the Missouri Question Delivered in T book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The question of expedi- ency, then, is abandoned, as to the free states, and as to the people of Missouri. They will both gain by this restriction But it is said that the old slave-hold- ing states will be injured by it ; and that the country west of the Mississippi is necessary as an outlet for their redundant slave population. Slavery, it is said, becomes less dangerous by being more widely dif- fused. It is, we are told, a poison which, though deadly in itself, may be weakened, and diluted, ...and rendered less fatal, by dividing it amongst a number, and giving to each a smaller portion. If this were, indeed, the case, it would even then be ungenerous and unjust in us to seek relief in our sufferings at the expense of others, or to extend to our brethren (though they may be willing to share with us) the bitter ingre- dients of our own poisoned chalice. But, sir, this me- taphor is inapplicable to the present case ; and, if we must indulge in comparisons, I would rather liken slavery to some noxious plant — to some poison tree — the Bohan-Upas, if you will.
