What reading level is Abraham Lincoln, a Character Sketch book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was the foundation-stone of the Republican party — ^non-extension of slavery into the Territories. The hetero- geneous combination of men of varying views was not formed to secure abolition, but restriction. Old line Whigs, who had forsaken their party because it would take no pro- nounced position on slavery ; the new Whigs, led by Wil- liam H. Seward, who came into the party after the Com- promise of 1850; the Know-Nothings, who had tried to create new issues when there was but one; the ...Free-Soilers, who despaired of success because of the too radical Aboli- tionists ; and Northern Democrats, who resented the control of their party by the Southern slavemasters, — all these ele- ments came together to support the old Free-Soil conten- tion, "No more slave States. No more slave Territories!" The institution of slavery was hateful to many of them, but they were not ready as yet to demand its abolition in that region where for so long a time it had made its home. The radicals were not satisfied with the platform, but the ma- jority of anti-slavery men voted for Fremont, who received 1,300,000 ballots, 114 electoral votes, and was defeated only by a few of the accidents of politics.
