What reading level is Stephen A. Douglas book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was rather inthe alternative held out, that the English bill was unsatisfactory tothose who loved fair play. Still, under the bill, the people ofKansas, by an act of self-denial, could defeat the Lecomptonconstitution. To that extent, the supporters of the administrationyielded to the importunities of the champion of popular sovereignty.
Under these circumstances it would not be strange if Douglas"wavered. "[661] Here was an opportunity to close the rift betweenhimself and the administration..., to heal party dissensions, perhaps tosave the integrity of the Democratic party and the Union. And theprice which he would have to pay was small. He could assume, plausiblyenough, --as he had done many times before in his career, --that thebill granted all that he had ever asked. He was morally sure that thepeople of Kansas would reject the land grant to rid themselves of theLecompton fraud. Why hesitate then as to means, when the desired endwas in clear view?
Douglas found himself subjected to a new pressure, harder even toresist than any he had yet felt.
