To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God forbid that I should deny the people's right of revolution. But, sir, that right can only be justly exercised under these limitations: there must be grievances or just cause; all peaceable means of redress must be first fairly and honestly tried, and must fail; and the cause of complaint, the grievance, must be so onerous that submission to it would be more dan- gerous to life and liberty than revolution or war. What just cause of complaint has the South, or any portion of her people, again...st this Govern- ment? There is none. What peaceable means have been employed by the South to redress any imaginary grievance, in the absence of a real one ? None. What petitions for a redress of wrongs, or remonstrances against wrongs, have been sent here by the South ? None. It is said some north- ern States have passed unconstitutional liberty bills injurious to the South. If this be so, the * South has an ample and complete remedy in the Federal courts. But does the violation of the Con- stitution by one citizen, or by many, justify addi- tional violations by others?
