What reading level is The Olive Branch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
B«t, sir, I do not thus regard it. I rather view it as an olive branch of peace and harmony and good faith presented to tbe border States, and indeed to all the southern States — even those which have seceded. I see in its adoption a settlement and a final settlement of all agry discussion and agitation upon this terrible question of slavery, ■which comes up here and in almost all public deliberative bodies in this country, like Satan among the sons of God, to afflict and destroy ^our happiness... and prosperity. I hear, in its kindly invitation, the voice ^f the mighty North, composed of twenty millions of free white men — men who labor for themselves — having the power now to over- run and lay waste the entire southern country and liberate its slaves, speaking to us language like this : " We know, as you know, that sl9, very ha§ been the hot-bed in which treason, has been nurtured ; we know it is the cockatrice's egg, the Pandora's box, whence issued this most atrocious and wicked rebellion ; but we know, too, that slavery was fastened upon the country far back in the past, and that our fathers were as much responsible for it as yours ; we look upon it as the most serious curse which was ever inflicted upon our people, but you have your constitutional rights, which we intend most scrupu- lously to regard.
