What reading level is Stephen a Douglas a Memorial a Description of the Dedication of the Monument book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What would have happened if Douglas had lived to the close of the war ? This question, of course, cannot be answered with certainty. But it is not improbable that had Douglas been elected President and lived, there would have been no war. He would have been more or less acceptable to both sides and all factions, and might have had influence enough with both to bring about an adjustment of the ques- tions in dispute without a resort to arms. Had he lived after his defeat, there is no doubt that ...he would have held a high position in the 76 councils of the administration. John W. Forney, an intimate friend of Douglas, in his Anecdotes of Public Men, states "by authority, " that had he lived he would have been called into the administration of President Lincoln, or placed in one of the highest military com- mands. And it is surely reasonable to conclude that when the Re- publicans were casting about for a war Democrat to take the vice- presidential nomination in 1864, this "greatest of war Democrats" would have been their choice, and that on President Lincoln's death he, instead of Andrew Johnson, would have become President, and thus realized his long cherished ambition.
