To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The people resorted to the usual means: petitions bearing the names of thousands were sent to Wash- ington, imploripg Congress to save the country from war, — one of them had the names of fourteen thousand women on it. To give us back our old-time love for each other, prayers went up morning, noon, and night, from fire- sides North and South; and on many a tongue was the language of David : " Give us help from trouble; for vain is the help of man." But the cloud of war was over us and it was to...o late to ward ofiF our trials.
Day after day South Carolina added to the 212 THE SPIRIT OF OLD WEST POINT height and strength of her batteries bearing on Sumter, and an orgy of wild, frenzied, deliri- ous cheering hailed every step toward revolu- tion. Meanwhile, the Southern Confederacy at Montgomery, elated by the extended hand of Europe, and blind to the hollow treachery of her smile, began to drink deeply of the cups of fate, and grew more and more defiant, leaving no doubt of war in the minds of whosoever ob- served her almost savage glee over the prospect of a death-grapple with the North.
