What reading level is The Movement for Statehood 1845 1846 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our county and town au- thorities are going to the utmost limit of taxation to build roads, bridges, and county buildings. Under these circum- stances additional taxation cannot but set heavily upon most parts of the territory. We believe that our readers will agree with us that ten years hence 50, 000 of our inhabitants (em- bracing an average of the wealth of the country) will be bet- ter able to sustain a state government than 150, 000 are or would be now; and that a territory twenty years o...ld, with only 50, 000 inhabitants, w^ould be regarded as young enough to enter the Union.
Political as well as pecuniary objections might be raised against the measure on the ground of our youth. We be- lieve that a territory at ten years old, whatever may be its population or wealth, is scarcely better qualified to assume the responsibilities of a sovereign state than is a boy of the same age to assume the responsibilities of a sovereign man. We might assign many reasons in support of this position, and would proceed to do so, did not objections exist against our remaining much longer in our present condition, which to us appear to be paramount to every consideration which can be urged in favor of it upon the last-mentioned ground.
