What reading level is A Short Life of Abraham Lincoln, Condensed From Nicolay & Hay's Abraham Lincoln: a History book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
By necessary implication, when rebellion or invasion comes, the decision is to be made from time to time; and I think the man whom, for the time, the people have, under the Constitution, made the commander-in-chief of their army and navy, is the man who holds the power and bears the respon- sibility of making it. If he uses the power justly, the same people will probably justify him ; if he abuses it, he is in their hands, to be dealt with by all the modes they have reserved to themselves in th...e Constitution." Forcible and convincing as was this legal analysis, a single sympathetic phrase of the President's reply had a much greater popular effect : "Must I shoot a simple-minded soldier boy who de- serts, while I must not touch a hair of a wily agitator who induces him to desert ?" The term so accurately described the character of Vallandigham, and the pointed query so touched the hearts of the Union people throughout .the land whose favorite "soldier boys" had volunteered to fill the Union armies, that it rendered powerless the crafty criticism of party diatribes.
