What reading level is The Will of the People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A revolution of policy on so vital a question looks too much like an acknowledgment of error to be agreeable to those whose false pride shrinks from the reproach of inconsistency. Short-sighted men saw in it the danger of losing friends, and of giving new weapons to enemies.
Fortunately for us, we had a ruler who could rise superior to personal motives and to petty vanity, — one who could read almost intuitively the popular heart, and who recognized him- self to be the servant of the people. As... the nation changed its views, so he was ready to change his policy. When, therefore, the Emancipation Proclamation made its appearance, the people was prepared to welcome that which, a year earlier, would have aroused a tempest of disapprobatien. It is true, th£ pro-slavery element among us still was formidable, and this deadly blow at the cherished institution aroused its fiercest wrath; but the im- potence of that wrath showed how truly the President had measured the progress of opinion, and how fully the nation was ready to sustain his position.
