What reading level is Twenty Years of Congress From Lincoln to Garfield volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
President Grant had scarcely taken a step in the duty of admin- istration before he realized that as soon as the current session of Congress should terminate his hands would be completely tied, respecting the removal and appointment of Federal officers, by the Tenure-of-office Act. With his prompt and determined mode of pro- cedure he caused it to be known to Republican senators and repre- sentatives that so long as the statute was in force he would simply stand still in the matter of appointme...nts and permit the incumbents to remain in position, except where flagrant misconduct should call for suspension under the law. This position was startling to all who were desirous of securing the appointment of political favor- ites, who in a party sense had earned their reward and were wait- ing to receive it. There was a general desire to remove the men whom President Johnson had forced into office before the restraining Act was passed. But General Grant was resolved that neither he nor the members of his Cabinet would go through the disagreeable and undignified process of filing reasons for suspending an officer, when in fact no reasons existed aside from obnoxious political opin- ion.
