To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That rebellion was secretly conspired, and openly inaugurated, by an enemy, to use the happy expression of the President of the United States, " who was of his own household. " It was a rebellion against his own blood; against the sacred ties of the Family; against the blessed heritage of a common Government, so long and highl}'' favored of the Lord, in which the rebels them- selves had an equal interest ; and against the very Ark and Covenant of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Kinship, Ci...tizenship and Religion were alike outraged. It was a rebellion not only provoked by no grievance or oppression, but entered upon in the face of a long course of paternal kindness and indulgence, of a series of crimes forgiven, and acts of treason overlooked. To the magnanimous King and his faithful adherents, whose hearts were never " stolen" by the more accom- plished arts and polished iniquity of the chief conspira- tor, of what consequence, in this hour of home-distress, were the objurgations of natural enemies, or the mocking reproaches of envious strangers ?
