What reading level is The Question Before Us book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The high tone of manners and generous hospitality in which we at the North used to have a feeling of pride, as the inheritance of our brethren of the South, has dwindled into what, excepting to rebel ears, is now a by-word, — " chivalry. " From the cul- tivated, refined, and attractive Pinckneys, Middletons, Lees, and others, from the Slave States, the leading spirits of the South have degenerated, so as to be represented by a renegade Davis, a Jew Benjamin, and generals, who, like Pillow, are ...famous for their infamy. Oaths, flags of truce, and the restraints of humanity, are disregarded with that short-sightedness which ignores results in view of momentary advan- tages.
The attitude and the action of the North arc tlie reverse of this. Calmly and judiciously has the Pre- sident met all the difliculties which have risen before him. Promptly and fully have the people responded to every call made upon them. Many were disa])- pointed when the recruiting was closed ; and, when 6 the second call came, the struggle again was, Who should be the first to be ready to start for the Capi- tol ^ Impulses and passions have had their part in the uprising of the North, as "svell as in the madness of the South.
