What reading level is The Contest in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Were theright of the slave-owners to secede ever so clear, they have no rightto carry these with them; unless allegiance is a mere question oflocal proximity, and my next neighbor, if I am a stronger man, can becompelled to follow me in any lawless vagaries I choose to indulge.
But (it is said) the North will never succeed in conquering the South;and since the separation must in the end be recognized, it is betterto do at first what must be done at last; moreover, if it did conquerthem, it coul...d not govern them when conquered, consistently with freeinstitutions. With no one of these propositions can I agree.
Whether or not the Northern Americans will succeed in reconquering theSouth, I do not affect to foresee. That they _can_ conquer it, iftheir present determination holds, I have never entertained a doubt;for they are twice as numerous, and ten or twelve times as rich. Notby taking military possession of their country, or marching an armythrough it, but by wearing them out, exhausting their resources, depriving them of the comforts of life, encouraging their slaves todesert, and excluding them from communication with foreign countries.
