To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For we believe — we begin to feel sure — that the order of the Loyal Legion that was established in 1865, on the 15th of April, in the midst of the deep gloom that then fell upon the country, is to be entirely worthy of the good cause in which it had its origin, — a cause which may be said to be, as was said of the Revolutionary war by Emerson, — "a spotless cause." Indeed, it was the best — the divlnest — cause for which men ever went to war. We ourselves did not fully appreciate the cause for... which we were risking our lives when we were engaged in the great conflict. It is certainly true of this war, that it stands alone in the wars of all history, as the one war that accomplished all — completely and exacdy — that the friends of the right wished and sought when they were forced to take up arms. It established the Union; it maintained the supremacy of the General Government; it abolished slavery. This was all that we then thought of; But it can be said further, if wars are to be judged by their results, that our war was the greatest war in all history.
