What reading level is Websters Work for the Union a Paper Read Before the Fortnightly Club Newark book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The provisions of the compromise relating to New Mexico and Utah gave a chance for the extension of slavery, such as was afforded a few years later by the Kansas-Nebraska law; but the probability that slavery should ever be established in those territories was remote. The location of the Texas boundary line, another part of the compromise, was in favor of freedom, and, besides, the slave trade in the Dis- 28 WEBSTER'S WORK trict of Columbia was abolished. The controlling con- sideration in the ...mind of AVebster was the preservation of the union, and the accomplishment of that object jus- tified all that he said. What he said was necessary to save the union, and it had that effect. Considering the transaction as a whole, after sixty years, it would be difficult for impartial history to find a reason to speak harshly of the statesmen who contrived and supported the compromise. The opinion that the compromise was a finality, if ever seriously entertained, turned out to be unfounded ; but it gave a chance for the milder influences of civilization to abolish slavery, if possible, and many hoped and some believed, and history encouraged the belief, that it was possible.
