What reading level is The Life of Abraham Lincoln for Boys And Girls book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When he spoke he was transformed ; his eye kin- dled, his voice rang, his face shone and seemed to light up the whole assembly. For an hour and a half he held his audience in the hollow of his hand." Lincoln chose for a text Senator Douglas's proposition that the men who had created the nation and framed its Constitution " had understood the slavery question just as well and even better than we do now," and proceeded to show that they had seen the evils of slavery, and planned the government so... as to keep slavery out of the Territories and put it in the way of ultimate extinction. He went on : " As those fathers marked it, so let it be again marked, as an evil not to be extended, but to be tolerated and protected only because of and so far as its actual presence among us makes that tol- eration and protection a necessity." This was as far as Lincoln's party had yet gone in its opposition to slavery, — that it was "an evil not to be extended." The difference between South and North, as he explained it, was a difference as to whether slavery was right, as the South believed, or wrong, as the North believed, " Wrong as we think slavery is," Lincoln said in the conclusion of his speech, " we can yet afford to let it alone where it is, because that much is due to the necessity arising from its actual presence in the nation ; but can we, while our votes will prevent it, allow it to spread into the national Territories, and to overrun us here in these free States ?
