What reading level is Alabama Secedes From the Union An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

By a vote of 54 to 45 the motion was lost. Mr. Clemens then moved an amendment that the Ordinance of Secession should not go into effect until March 4, 1861, and not then unless it should be ratified and confirmed by a direct vote of the people.
Why Ordinance not submitted to Popular Vote.
The real purpose of this motion was simply to delay Seces- sion as long as possible. Clemens knew that Secession was a movement of the people, not of the politicians, and that Seces- sion was inveitable.
Moor
...e, in his History of Alabama, writes: "When the Co- operationists saw that the Secessionists were inflexible in their determination to take the State out of the Union, they proposed to refer the Ordinance to the people, hoping to delay action, if not to defeat the Secession scheme. " The Co-operationists may have had some hope of delaying Alabama's withdrawal from the Union, but I do not believe they entertained the slightest hope of preventing the State's Seces- sion. The logic of events had long made that certain.
